I was also banded on the 30th!!... Feeling pretty good!! Just having trouble sleeping on the right side!!

Right!... I am staying with Jello, Applesauce, Shakes and soup!! I will wait for the Hard stuff!!! LOL

I am a smoker...So that is what did it!!

Hey Everyone!! I'm back and I'm banded!!! What a week it's been... Surgery went good, except the hernia they removed... oh and my collapsed lung... My fault~... But I feel pretty good!! The Doctor released me for regular food yesterday, and I was dancing in the office!~... I tried some fish!! WOW!! Was great to eat... then I felt like it was stuck forever... maybe I'm just not ready for food yet!! No biggie!!

Thank you!!!

WOW! That is great!! I never thought about doing measurements!

I can't believe the time is finally here! Had a great morning at my pre-op visit. I am down 17 pounds and can't wait to get rid of the next 91!!! Wish me luck!! Surgery is at 7:45 am!!! It can't get here fast enough!

I'm so jealous!! i really want food!!! But I guess, since I will have nothing solid for 3-4 weeks after, I can understand preparing the body!

I gave up soda about a month ago!! That was hard.. But now.. not so much... I am on Day 11 Pre-op Diet... My food list consists of: Water, Protein Shakes, Jello, Applesauce and Broth... I sucks!!! Really bad when you are with a bunch of people and you can't eat!!.. Just keep reminding myself just a few days left to go!... But on the bright side... Down 13lbs!!

Awesome Chris!!! We will all have to keep in touch!!

Thank you everyone!!! Some Vitamin C and a Z-Pack and I Feel great!!!

YAY!!! A fellow 30th Bandster!!! How is the pre-op diet going???

Any recommendations to get rid of it!!! Will they make me re-schedule???

Great job on the 2lbs!!! People don't understand what a weight loss journey is!! Keep your head up and keep going... Next year when you feel 100 times better.. nothing will keep you down!

Hello Everyone!!! Well, I'm on Day 5 of Pre-Op Diet and so far I feel pretty good!! I am so excited about my band... Just wish the date would get here soon!! This site has been so helpful and I cannot wait to post m success story one day!

How are you feeling??? My surgery is next week... Hope they don't find anything unexpected in there!!

Good Luck!!

Ok, so it's day 4 of this all liquid pre op diet... Not feeling to bad... I'm not as hungry as I thought I would be. I went to a cook out on Saturday and my son's birthday party is this weekend. I think I'm being tested!!!

Thank you!!!

I can't believe it's scheduled already!!! Wow this is great!!! Day 1 Pre-Op Diet!!!

I am scheduled fro August 30th!!! First day of Pre-op diet!!!!

This is awesome!!! Such an inspiration!!!

I saw the approval on my Insurance web site today!! Needless to say I'm excited!!! Now, just waiting for the Doctors office to call with the next step!! My question is, Do they wait for an actual letter from the insurance and if so, will I get a copy???

YAY!!! They called and said it's FILED!!!
