You'll probably still be there when I get in on Sunday. I might track you down and see how it went :)

Hi March 16th for me anxious to get going can't wait.

As the day approaches, is anyone else getting that feeling that you need to eat things that you will never be able to again? It's kind of silly but the feeling is still there

Hi Everyone! I begin my new and improved life March 9th. It looks like I'll be crossing paths with Hopeful.

I am looking forward to meeting some folks from Arizona and other Lapbansters.

Where in AZ are you from? Were in Gold Canyon, out by the Superstition Mtns.

Teri, Nice to meet you. I live on the West side. Litchfield Park Area. How are you doing with your band? I see there are quite a few AZ Bansters out there. Has anyone found a local (Phx Metro) fill Dr. ? I am planning to head back to TJ for my first fill in April, but wanted to get a backup plan together in case life takes over and I need a quick fill or unfill.

Hey Bubbles

Have you started the pre-op diet or tried? I have been gaining weight a little, trying to eat things that I think I will never be able to eat again. A little silly huh :lol:

I gained eight pounds in two weeks!! I too feel like eating things I won't be able to have anymore. I started the pre-op yesterday. It's going to get real old. I'm going to miss my sushi. I need to lose 20lbs. The trainer at the gym says it's almost impossible. I'll give it a try!

March 5 is my big day! From the other posts I have read, it appears that is quite a popular day for surgery. I've waited and jumped through insurance company hoops for 16 months and I am looking for lots of encouragement and support on this forum. I'm anxious to get to know all of you and share encouragement and support!

I am scheduled for March 12th. But mine is being done in the states.. I live in Missouri and we have an excellent bariatric center here.

Hey Sharon! I was interested to read your post. I, too, am from Missouri and will have my surgery on March 5. I will go to Columbia and Dr. Pitt is my surgeon. Best wishes from a fellow Missourian!

Oh thank goodness - someone who's going to be there when I am :) I get in on Sun - you too? Hopefully we'll be on the same shuttle. Not sure how often they run them.

I'm only supposed to be on the protein drink diet for a week, but I've been TRYING to do it for 2 weeks. Yuck. And of course, now my family, who doesn't know, has decided to plan a family dinner on the 3rd :(
