Hi OLIVE,
That's great well let me know how it all goes. I've been researching and although it's good you sometimes run across the bad and scary things too. I am still nervous about going to a doctor in Mexico but my insurance just won't cover it here. I've already gotten the run-around. I was referred to Dr. Kuri by a friend, she has been banded for 4 months and is doing great. Because of her I decided to make the call.
I am anxiously awaiting the day, I too don't need to do the pre-op but I plan on doing it anyway! Nice to meet you too! KIT!

And Rhonda is on Friday, so that could definitely be the case for her. I know my doc won't do surgery on Friday. Maybe we'll get some company soon.

Okay guys. Anyone else getting nervous with your date approaching. I hadn't been nervous until now...I go onto my high protein diet starting Monday and I think it has finally hit me....I am really doing this and my life will forever be changed..........just wondering about anyone else about to be banded and how they are handling it?

I haven't gotten nervous yet! My pre-op diet will start around June 3, 08 with a surgery date of June 17th. I am getting everything gathered together, like protein drinks and food I can have pre and post. Bought some new undies. and a few loose fitting cloths and comfy shoes.
Please know that we are all "one big happy family" now, so jitters are to be expected.
I have the added concern that I have many social gatherings to attend during my pre-op diet that are going to be real chalanges! I work for a school district and may teachers are retiring at the end of this school year, so therefore, since I am the cook for the school, they expect me to entertain! Haven't quite figured that out yet.
I'll, as well as everyone else, will be thinking of you and will support you in any way we can.
Just think how cute you will look in 6 to 8 months out! Kerry

I wonder if those of us who have had surgery before (any major surgery) if we are more anxious than those who have never had surgery ?
We have a Memorial Day function to go to tomorrow and it is expected that I bring my Texas Sheet Cake...not this time. I love our friends but I have to put myself first this time. This time they get Betty Crocker Brownie Mix ! ...but I'll throw some walnuts in there, too!! It's still going to be a little tough.

I've had other surgeries before (tonsillectomy, c-section, others) so I guess I am not that nervous about the actual surgery. The last time I was under, the tube scratched up my esophagus and made my reflux feel so bad. Other than that, I am not that worried. I'm more worried about the post op and making sure I do the right things so I don't have complications later.

The thing I most worry about is not making it back to my children. That if something were to happen would this weight surgery thing be worth leaving my children for...but on the other side if I continue adding this weight I won't live my life to it's fullest and it will be cut short. With my other surgeries..c sections, hysterectomy those really weren't by choice. I guess you could look at it that this isn't by choice either..it is really about life and death.
