I have been approved for Sept 24th...I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO excited :biggrin:
Hi Septemerber bandsters! I just got the call today, my sugery date is scheduled for September 24, 2010. It seems unreal, I haven't told anyone yet (except my boss, so I could get the week off) but not the people that matter. I think I'm trying to comprehend that this is really happening, that I'm really about to start a brand new journey!

Ctrose, and Kmckinleyrn Congratulations On your surgery dates, you guys are the first to have September 24,

Cathy,I know you're at the hospital getting prepared for surgery at this time. This is your big day. You are the first from our group to be Banded.:thumbup::thumbup:, I'm so happy and excited for you, I wish you a speedy recovery. Please keep us post-it on your progress.

Got my surgery date - Sept 27. Will meet with my surgeon two weeks before for instructions. I already know that he requires Protein Drinks only for two weeks before surgery. I am using Premier Protein shakes (30g Protein; 160 calories; 3g fat). I get them from costco and the taste is very good.

September 17 - I know my insurance won't pay so I'm not even going to go through that stress. It may be a bunch of money but I figure I'll get that money back in a couple of years without all the restaurant and grocery bills! Though I will probably more clothing expenses!

It's time. I need to do this for me.

My doctor is not requiring me to go on the liquid diet, but I was encouraged to go on one if I want to. I'm thinking it's probably a good idea.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on decent tasting Protein Shakes?

September bandsters - Good luck to all of you. I have my date Sept 20. I can't believe it really going to happen. Now if I can just avoid the Last Supper Syndrome I should be ok.

Hi everyone Tomorrow is day number 1 of the pre-op for me. I'm ready and willing to start! Insurance is all set . My bag is packed and I am stocking up on the foods I will need for the next three weeks. I'm hoping to stay away from the super market. I told my family every man for himself in the kitchen. I no longer am the chief cook and bottle washer. I am glad I have no little kids to cook for! :biggrin:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
