So after my last banding fiasaco 2 weeks ago I got my new surgery date. 8/2/2010. I hope that there are no problems this time and everything goes off without a hitch! I guess now I am a August Bandster! Anyone else out there?? :smile2:

Good luck to you! I read what happened last time and lightening can't strike twice in the same spot, can it?! I hope not, that would suck bigtime and I would take that as a HUGE sign from the man upstairs that you aren't supposed to have the LB!!!

I could be an August bandster, not sure yet!

Congrats on your date! You're one up on me!

Thanks for the support. I have a great surgeon and the office staff is great too! My Dr assures me that I will get my band with the next surgery. The only reason why they could not band me the last time is to make sure that the band did not cause an infection. I have faith that everything will turn out great! Right?

I am glad to hear that we will start to change our lives in the same month. Good Luck!!

THANKS!

I think a lot can happen with a positive attitude and it sounds like you have one! So, YES! It will work out great!! It does sound like you have a decent doctor who listened to his better judgement and decided not to risk infection. Some doctors may have gone ahead anyway, kwim?!

If we're not August band-buds, then I hope we're at least summer band-buds!

I am going to banded August 27,2010. I am a little nervous but ready for the change.
