Hello Kelly, My name is Tammy and I'm 31. I just joined the group tonight. My surgery is scheduled for December 19th 2013. What an amazing Christmas Present to my self, and a great way to start out my New Years resolution! I hope everything goes great for you, I have 7 children and wouldn't trade my busy life for anything.

Heya all im kelly,
i will be getting my banding done on 15th of november

7 years ago i was also diagnosed with insulin resistance making it even more difficult to loose the weight.
im 29 and needing to take back control of my life and get my health and welbeing on track.
and hopeing in the next 2 years post op i will have the baby ive dreamed of

Just follow their instructions. Mine told me two Protein shakes/smoothies (I can add frozen fruit if I like, no bananas) and one meal of Protein and green veg for three weeks prior. Not too horrifying, I can handle that.
Thank you, I'm sure it will. I hope that yours goes great, too.
Soon we'll all be banded, and advising nervous newbs. Heh! Heh!

Hello Icy, yeah this is so exciting but im so nervous ive got butterflies hehe.
i was told over the phone that i can have at least one cup of opti-fast shakes a day.
i feel maybe they should of been more strick with my diet as this is only two weeks before op, but i guess ill find out on friday with my dietition.
hope all goes well for you

Hi Kelly, welcome! This is an exciting time. You're taking some solid steps towards a healthier future for yourself and hopefully, your future children. I'll be right behind you in the OR, my surgery date is the 20th, just found out, today.
I am to start my pre-op diet later this week. You should do yours according to your doctor's instructions. Sooner can't hurt, as long as you do it at least as long as instructed.

thank you everyone
i have a few friends on Facebook whom are looking for fellow support, i shall send them this way
i think im still in a bit of shock, i didnt think i would be this quick and thought id have to wait at least a few months so its a bit of a rush to get everything organised.
i still havent met the aneithatist as they did the questionaire over the phone, bit weird but ok.
i meet the dietition on the 1st of november but im pretty clued in as to what i can and can not have.
my mum had her band done a few years ago due to heart problems so i know what is expected.
im suposed to start opti fast liquid diet 2 weeks before op but ive read alot of people start 4 weeks before, should i start it now?
thank you everyone, and ill try keep you all up dated when i can

hello everyone im a november bander, will have mine done on the 15th
it cant come fast enough. im starting my liquid shakes next monday.
good luck to all
