Hiya just wondering if anyone is getting banded in June and if so how are you feeling im an excited nervous wreck obsessed with getting the surgery it seems as though every other:thumbup: word out of my mouth is when i get my surgery this and surgery that lol 8 weeks to go whooo hoooo

i'm getting banded on june 28th. i am nervous and excited just like you. now that it is getting closer, i'm worried about not being successful afterwards esp after reading some posts in other threads. however, i am determined and have decided to get thru one day at a time. i started drinking one meal per day and 2 hi protein, lo carb meals. next week i plan to drink 2 meals so that by the time i am 2 weeks away from surgery, all liquids won't be so bad,

I got the call on Thursday that my banding has been scheduled for June 17th!! This process started for me on January 4th and I had almost given up hope!

I was approved by my insurance and I am getting more excited every day!! I am so glad I found this website!! The information and support are awesome!! I can't wait to go back to work in August as a brand new me!!!:crying:

I am scheduled for June 24th. Very nervous! Hafta pay $7,000, kinda wished they would have went over the out of pocket expenses before it was scheduled. Worried about how to pay. My father will help, but the rest will hafta go on a credit card. Have a lot of pre op tests coming up. Very psyched about this! Out of all of my worries though, I know everything will go well

Hey guys! I will be banded on 6/29/10 with Dr. Corvala at Hospital Angeles in TJ, Mexico. I'm getting the band placed over my RNY, which I failed miserably with (long story). Anyway, very excited to be joing you all. Has anyone thought of a name for the June Bandsters yet???

I am all set for June, 8th. I am having the surgery done in Mexico at Star Medica with DR Natera. I find that the only thing I talk about is "lap band". I also find that I am calling my friends and saying lets go out to lunch before i get banded because I know that the old ways of eating must change and will change. I have spoke with my fill Dr here in the USA . DR Stephanie Eijsink and she seems very nice and will see me 6 weeks after surgery. I also seem to having lots of dreams that are related to lap band and the surgery.. This happening to anyone else ?

Congrats Colletta, its just the most amazing thing dont you think?????????? I cant begin to tell you how liberating it feels to know that once the weight has gone its not going to come back! 3rd June for me it cant come quick enough!

Hello fellow June Bandsters IT WONT BE LONG NOW!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone up for listing photos where we all take the same shots? I find it a bit frustrating when photos are put up and you cant really see peoples true shape before surgery. Not that Im asking you to go naked or anything! :crying: We are in this together RIGHT? We all need as much support as possible RIGHT? We all need to learn as much as possible to make the journey troublesome free RIGHT? We all need encouragement RIGHT? We all need a shoulder to cry on RIGHT? So I was thinking why not make June 2010 Bandsters unique! We could all document our befores and after photos in a standard format? Anyone up for it? :drool:

Lets make one big photo journal !

email me agiudice@comcast.net

Im hoping to be banded in June. I have 1 more visit with my primary care doctor to complete my 6 month supervised WL program. I have my psych eval next monday and after I have that appt I will call my surgeons office and they will set me up to meet with the nutritionist.

i dont have a date yet. but everythings done i'm wating for my ins to give me an auth #. i'm scared and excited too. Im really hoping for a june date

"i'm worried about not being successful afterwards esp after reading some posts in other threads" me too but this is my first time on this site and havent read any unsuccessful stories. that gives me anxiety!

I'm going to be a June Bandster as well. My banding date is June 4th. I think I'm more nervous about the pre-op diet than anything else. I'm not worried about failing. I can lose weight, I just can't keep it off. I've been off of all sodas for the last two weeks, now if I could just get use to not having anything to drink with my meals, I will have to of my demons beat. I am looking forward to taking this journey with all of you guys and good luck.
