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

Today is my second day on my all liquid diet. Saw the doc yesterday and he said everything is perfect. My sister in law had her baby this morning. 9lbs 7oz all natural! CRAZY...but that baby is such an Angel. Love her to pieces already!

Im struggling with this liquid diet... I keep telling myself its just 3 more days now but I come from a family of BIG eaters everything is surrounded by whats to eat and when are we eating again and whats for dinner while stuffing your face with lunch. My husband keeps asking permission to eat because he doesnt want to eat around me.... and im HUNGRY....*sigh* but I will remain strong and stick to it....the process is worth the outcome in the end.... as someone else said.... one day we will all laugh about this in our bikini's! :thumbup:

one day we will all laugh about this in our bikini's! :bored:

Lol, love this quote.

I'm also getting banded on the 28th. Good luck to you!

Looks like the 28th is going to be the big day for alot of people. I had my pre-op appointment today - I'm beyond excited. I really can't believe it's going to happen! I pulled out a pair of jeans I bought when I was on a crash diet a few years ago...still have the tags on them. I'm so excited to wear them. I know it will be a long journey and wearing those pants is a long way off, but I have so much hope for the future! I know that I'm doing this for my health, but I can't pretend not to be excited about the vanity part of it! Cheers and good healing everyone!

Pre-op testing all done today. Set for surgery on Monday the 28th. So lucky only have one day of liquid diet on Sunday before Monday surgery. Can't wait to get the surgery over with!!

My surgery is June 30th, it cannot get here fast enough!:bored:

I'm scheduled for Monday, June 28th too! I can't believe it is finally here. I was supposed to have it done in March, but developed Appenditis and had to have my appendix removed emergently. My surgeon made me wait 3 MONTHS, which seemed like an eternity! I've been doing the liquid diet for 5 days now and have lost 11 pounds! I'm just ready to start this journey of weight loss. Good luck to all my fellow bandsters on Monday! This is the start of a new life for all of us!

Good luck to those of you who are scheduled next week! I will keep you all in my thoughts! I had mine on Thursday and got out of the hospital late last night (6/25). I almost had to stay a second night due to throwing up but I was abel to keep some water down so they let me go. Surgery went ok, they fixed a larger hiatal hernia which requried another inscision. I am quite sore but just taking liquid Tylenol as the stuff they prescribed me makes me throw up. The gas if by far the wrost part..My left shoulder is screaming with the gas leaving it! I my stomach looks like someone took a baseball bad to it...if my surgeon was shocked when he came and checked me yesterday so my stomach is feeling pretty sore. Again Good luck and check back in when your on the other side! BTW, my doctor gave me pictures of the surgery (inside my stomach) showing me my hernia, showed me how and where he placed the band..I thought that was pretty cool!

8 days post op and I'm feelin' GREAT!!!

I was banded on June 14, 2010 and haven't really had any problems so far. It was easier than I expected. I am still on liquids and have my first post-op appt. tomorrow. I can't wait to eat real food again! Good luck to all of you future banders!

TOMORROW'S MY DAY....YAYYYYY!!! It seems like it took for and ever to get here. I'm excited and ready but as I'm packing my little bag for the over night stay...I'm getting nervous......:scared2:
