Yes! I will be banded july 24th!

Yes-i'm scheduled for week of July 19th. I can not wait. I actually getting kind of nervous -scared now? How about you?

I think I will be a late July as well! I just received insurance approval and go for my stress test this week, which is the last thing I need to complete before I get a date. A few weeks ago they were scheduling in June but I think by the end of this week I will end up in late July. I'm getting really excited and can't wait to get it over with! I am hearing different things about the pre-op diet. I have not met with my surgeon yet to get the actual directions so I am not 100% what that will involve. I hear some are a week on a liquid diet to shrink the liver and I hear others say they were put on a 24 hour. Does anyone know if this is something that is determined by each person's physical condition prior to surgery or just a surgeons choice for all their patients?

Good luck to everyone and I hope to get to know you all better!

July 15th for my surgery....excited and ready....surgeon wants me to start my exercise routine and I am drinking the Protein drinks now to lose weight before the surgery just because I am not going to wait to start losing!

Good luck to everyone!:tongue2:

I have my surgery scheduled for July 8th and can hardly wait.

  • 4 weeks later...

I meet with my surgeon Tuesday and will hopefully get my surgery date! I've been on my low-carb diet for 2 weeks now. I can't wait!:smile2:

Yay for us! My date is July 8!

I'm tentatively scheduled for July 16th. I guess they expect to get the insurance approval by then, so I'm psyching myself up for that date :smile2: 116 pounds from now I'll be a happy girl!
