I am getting banded on Novmeber 30th(pending approval) and wanted to hear from other Nov 2005 banders!

Getting banded Nov 7! Very Nervous, but excited!

Congratulation everyone! I hope everyone is doing well.

My date is the 30th of November. I just can't wait. Sue

All of a sudden my date of "11/10" has become....."this Thursday"!!

I was banded November 4th. I'm so glad that part is over. Today is Monday and I feel much better. I've lost 7lbs. and still going. The heartburn gas thing is real, but it comes and goes.

I just want to get on to a little bit of food with substance.

Hiya everyone my name is Brooke...I have been researching the band for about 3 years and I will finally be a bandster in 7 days woooohooo cant wait. I am from south carolina, have struggled with my weight since I was about 7. I will be banded in Seneca South Carolina by Dr Michael Hughes. My insurance has an exclusion I believe so they wont cover the band so i am a self pay but i know it will be worth every penny I am spending.

5 days after surgery I lost 11 lbs, very happy! Still in a decent amount of pain though but each day seems a little better than the day before.

I also am getting banded on Nov. 30. I hope you have all the success in the world. I am very excited, but also very anxious.

congrads to all!

Found out yesterday that I am going to be a grandma and having a lapband on Nov.22:) :Bunny

This week I finish with GI tests and a meeting to go over pre op stuff. I am very ready and am tring to find out what I should be thinking of about what to consume just afterwards. I am told so far, liquids and then mushy food. I saw a post on Instone pudding, I ordered some. Great protein.

Surgeon: Dr. Billy in Ventura, CA

Was banded Nov. 4th.....down 11 pounds.....couldn't be happier with my decision. I am, however, ready for full fluids tomorrow!!!

Hi, I will be banded November 10th can't wait!

Dana,

So how did it go at first? What have you been eating or drinking? 11 lbs must feel good already, I am so happy for you, and being on the other side must feel even better.

I hate the waiting, but I figure I can spend the time getting geared up for very different food consumption. I've done so many fasting programs I imagine it will be somewhat the same at first. Have you been hungry at all, how is the restriction?

I am counting the days. Nov 22. glad it is before Thanksgiving. It will be nice not to eat!

Take Care,

Debra

So, everything went well, guys! I was banded Monday morning and arrived home yesterday morning. So far, so good. There is some soreness and some heartburn. Other than that, all is fine. So, for those of you whose surgery date is arriving, everything will be just fine. Besides, we will all be sending prayers and well wishes your way. Take care

I'm scheduled for surgery on nov 16th with Dr Speigal. Can't hardly wait. It took 6 months to get approved.
