I am very happy for you Spoiltmom. I am three weeks behind you. I also hope you can post after surgery about you experiences and how you feel. Good luck!!

Hi fellow August Rushers!!! I will be banded on August 26th. My surgeon does not require a pre-op diet. However, I will probably go on a high protein diet two weeks prior to surgery. Good luck everyone!!!! I too am very excited. By the way.... When my wife and I agreed that I would do the surgery I was very timid to tell anyone. But after telling our parents I realized that the more I spoke about it the better I felt. Now most of our friends know. I would say that about 95% have been positive!!!

Hi Zen, sorry to hear about your insurance problem. Wish you all the best!!! I am also scheduled for August 26th. May we should start a new thread. Yeah!!!

I am scheduled for August 26th. I am excited but also a little nervous. My pre-admission testing will be August 12th. Looking forward to a new start!

Thanks reverie. You've been doing a fantastic job!!! Keep up the good work.

Hi guys, I am always reading all the new threads and it really helps me. Just got a reality hit over the weekend. I have my pre-admission testing on August 12th and surgery on August 26th. Good Grief!!!! Nervous excited!!!!! GULP!!!!

Thanks. I will be attending one in about 4wks.

Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I very excited because I have made the decision to have lapband surgery. At my consultation with the surgeon I weighed in at about 323 with a BMI of 45.5. I have made my decision based on lots of research and questions from others who have had this procedure. I look forward to getting it done. Kevin
