I don't have a date yet but paperwork was submitted this week for approval. I am hoping things go well and I'll be banded in September.

Looking for others who will be banded in September 2010.

Please chime in.

I am on my liquid diet and I am starving!!! I need a new protein shake, I am getting sick of the taste of this one :biggrin:

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:

Good for you Helgainaz. I wish you the very best.

Kysmith72, I am using Premier Protein Shakes (30g Protein; 160 calories; 3g fat). I get them from Costco and the taste is very good.

My surgery date is scheduled for Sept. 28th. I'm so excited. I can't wait to start this new journey in life.:biggrin:

Hi guys! I can't believe I am being banded this week!

I like premier protein shakes too and their great when I'm out and can't mix my own.

I have created a book of protein shake recipes I will be happy to share with everyone. Variety keeps the taste buds happy!

I have been on my liquid diet for almost two weeks and am feeling great! Not to mention I've lost eleven pounds!
