Hi, my name is Julie and I am new to this forum. I finally got approved for the LAP-BAND®® (my inital appoint was in Nov. 2009). I have my surgery scheduled for Aug 3rd. I am excited and nervous but I'm mostly ready to start living a healthier life! Is anyone getting banded around the same date? :tt2:

Hey Jewelz!

My first seminar was November 2009 along with my initial appointment! My surgery date is August 9th! I am so excited! Congrats and good luck to you!!

Hi Julie,

My name is Evelyn and I am soon to find out my surgery date! I am looking forward to it! Congrats and best of luck!

Hello

My surgery date is set for August the 4th. I am feeling anxious and a little afraid of the unknown right now. I am excited to get to a healthier place.

hi my surgery date is august 8th, were are u having your band done?

yes! My surgery date is August 3 @ 7:00am in Columbus , Ohio. Like everyone else, I am a bit aprehensive but ready to begin my Lapband journey. Good luck to you!

I go to my siminar aug 4th gl let me know how it went all of you!!! Been debating 3 months now hopefully I get it around my 50 B-day sept 14

I go in on 8/2 for my second attempt at getting my band and I can't wait. I just hope that this time I do not wake up from my surgery to hear my surgeon say, "Sorry, we were not able to place your band". :smile: Though I am mostly optimistic about this surgery, there is a little bit of doubt that it may not work again or what if I fail at this too! I mean I have been on a thousand diets and they worked but I gained it back. I realize this is a tool and I need to change my life and I am ready.

I hear all these people talk about the band does not work and they have only lost like 15 lbs and they are barely eating anything but I never hear them say that they have gone to gym, gotten on bike, treadmill or even taken their dog for a walk. I know that it takes more than just eating less. It is the whole package and I AM READY!! :smile2:

Well, I should have had my surgery today but last Thursday my Dr's office called to say that they needed to cancel my surgery because they got my labs back and myTriglycerides were over 800 and I needed to get them down before they can re-schedule my surgery. Does anyone know how to lower them quickly? :thumbup:

I'm hoping to have a date soon. I'll be attending classes this week and had all my blood-work/EKG/chest xray last week. Dr. wants me to have a colonoscopy first, and that happens in about a week. (Wouldn't it be great to incorporate the colonoscopy and the pre-surgery diet? lol

I am 03 August, too! I have to check in at 6:30 AM. I'm just tidying up a few things before I go scrub with my special soap before bed. I'll be up at 4:45 to scrub again and get ready for my day. Good luck to all of you with upcoming dates/appointments!

Hi! I no you probably already googled your question. I looked it up also. I hope this might help:thumbup:
