Only 4 days togo before the big day!!!!!!

Thread Starter  

hi all
boy am i nervous and scared. i am going to mexico an thursday and banded on friday. any last minute advise.i had to do the liquid protein diet before my surgery i was hoping they would let me have one last meal before the morning,
i cant believe im going to do this. the liquid protein has helped me get the right mindset for my new begining. does anyone have the fear of failing like i did in so many other diets? do you still have that fear after?
well i got to get organized for the big day
chris

did you see the mexico travel suggestions thread? my only advice is to not overpack! Also have a wheelchair lined up for the return trip home and for any change of planes. Remember to take your heating pad! And as always.... the FUZZY PINK HOUSE SLIPPERS MAKE YOU FEEL SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!

COngratulations Chris and good luck to you.

Accomplising anything with the proper toos ( the band) is always easier than winging it. We're all here when you need to talk. I'm definitely paying this forward. I'll need you all next month.

Prayers for a speedy recovery

Bearing down and ready to tackle the last 27!

Best of luck to you, Chris! Do you have your aftercare lined up now? Were you able to find out about the steriods and banding? Here's to a successful surgery and quick recovery.
