I am actually feeling very calm and was yesterday also. Slept pretty good. Only thing left to do is jump in the shower, shave my pits, grab my comfy capris and I'm on to a new life!!! Oh yeah, better find my cute sandals and then I'm ready to get into band life.
I am so psyched for this. I have vowed to follow every band rule, take this day by day and have a positive attitude.
Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes. Again, to all you having the procedure today and tomorrow...Blessings and a speedy recovery. Please....everyone keep us informed on how you are doing. It helps so much to know how each and everyone of you are doing. I know that there are going to be some great friendships that come together with our June Jazzies. I soooooooooo look forward to taking this journey with all of you. Karen

I am going to be banded tomorrow. I am so excited to get on with my life and move forward with it all. I have felt like I have been in a holding pattern for the last couple weeks! But I did loose almost 20 lbs on the liquid diet my surgeon requires so that is a great motivator!
I am not sure about my surgery time, the office will call me today with the time! I am keeping busy here at work today to make the time pass quicker. I even dusted all the file cabinets! LOL The girls here are laughing at me!
I will let you all know my surgery time when I know!

Ha Ronda!. I am trying to keep busy too!.. am doing all my awful paperwork .. just to stay busy. My surgery isn't until 4pm (spain time) tomorrow. I leave the house at 1.30pm. I am even contemplating teaching in the morning just so it flies by a bit quicker!!.. not sure I can hang around my room and repack my bags half a dozen times!.. taking the kids to school is probably my best bet! ..
GOOD LUCK!!. and happy dusting!! lol (just off to re-organise and alphabetise my library!! )

HURRAH THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE... however. I haven't SLEPT!.. maybe two hours that is it.. EVERY hour waking up and checking the clock!.. bathroom again..
Ronda you are SO lucky with your time! Darn shame my surgery isn't until 4pm!!.. leave the house at 1.30am (Spanish time)...it is 7.30am here now so going to try to sleep a bit more!.. that will help!
wishing all my 18th bandsters a truly WONDERFUL DAY!!.. only a few more hours to go!!!..
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!.. see you on the OTHER SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S Thank the lord my NERVOUS day was yesterday!> I am soo excited today. I spoke with my two sisters and both of my parents last night so am feeling confident and reassured!. All of them (none with a weight problem) were VERY excited for me and all said " you are doing the right thing".. so they are here with me in spirit!!..
see you later alligators!
Kizzie.
