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 will banded on the 16th hopefully

Tommorow is the day I cross over to the banded side of this journey. I am getting somewhat antsy but I know this is the right decision for me. I'm sending my prayers and best wishes to all you who have the same band birthday as me and a special thanks to all those who have gone before me and who have helped me by their experiences in this group.:thumbup:

I will say a prayer for you too! I was banded a week ago tomorrow and doing well. I have had the horrible shoulder pain, but each day it gets better. Do exactly as they tell you and you should be fine. Rest, walk to move the gas, take your gas aids, pain meds and all liquids! Thinking of you! Jennifer

Best of luck to everyone having their surgery tomorrow!

My day is Friday and I can't believe it's almost here! So excited, but a little nervous. It helps to read about everyone's experiences here.

Okay 7th ers! Tomorrow is our big day! Good luck for all of us!

Is it odd that I am not nervous at all? I have no concerns, no anxiety, no fear.... Maybe that will all kick in when I am trying to sleep LoL... (Thoughts and feelings usually like to come to me in the middle of the night and keep me up from 2 am to 5 am... go figure. ) My mother keeps checking in on me... Shes VERY nervous and anxious for me. Its pretty comical. And I guess because I minimize everything, my boyfriend seems to be unphased. I really just want it to be done already! :thumbup:

Well, I will be back on here to check in as soon as I can! :w00t:

Everyone else, stay wonderful!

(though I don't always comment of everything/everyone, I do read everything written here!)

I will be praying for you and I know you will do fine. I look forward to hearing from you 'after' the surgery. I am sixty-four years 'young' so I am really interested in those bandsters that are over fifty (and sixty). Try not to worry...just dream of the day you are slim. God be with you and the surgeon.

Boy this thread is growing, this is my second post for the day. Before my earlier post the last time I post we was on page 37 now we're on page 42.

Last week, I find out that tomorrow I have my last visit with the surgeon before my surgery, also I will have the pre admissions testing done. Thursday September 9, I have my last appointment with the Nutrition Consult before surgery. What's making me a little afraid, My paper work has not been submitted. :thumbup::scared2::scared2::w00t::scared2::scared2:

OMG, no wonder why I'm starving!!! Yes, this is all I get. I can also have sugar free Jello, but, it fills me for 10 minutes after I eat the whole bowl. I'm gonna call the dr. on Tuesday and ask if I can have something else, and that's only if I can survive until then. Wow, what the heck is my dr. thinking????

Jakealta: LOL:lol:Wow, what the heck is my dr. thinking????

Best wishes to the following Bandsters, Hope you all have fast recovery, I will have you all in my prayers.

Danide, Nani4five, Sannersplace72, Swissnis, Playermimi, Msmith73.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Kierstyun2010: Happy to hear you are doing good.

Playermimi: I'm not to far behind you with age. I'm working on becoming "Young at Heart again". :cool:

Gracerev: Happy to see you're back home and doing good. Thanks for the update.

Just wanted to say good luck tomorrow to danide, Nani4five, sannersplace72, swissnis, playermimi, msmith73. Hope all goes well and we hear from you soon.

sourmissg -- Hi Gale, maybe your doctors office did not want to submit paperwork over the extended weekend. I bet it gets submitted this week.

danide - I was not nervous one bit and feel asleep as usual the night before surgery. You know we are doing the right thing when we are this calm about it. Good luck tomorrow.

sugarmoma -- Congratulations on your band date.

jshort -- glad to hear all is going well for you. My diet is the same as your right now. I'm satisfied and I'm still losing. Are you going to be getting a fill on your appointment his week? I have my appointment Wednesday in front of the fluoroscope.

gracerev -- I know babys oil will remove tar and lighter Fluid will remove the sticky from old tape. Let us know when you find something that works?

phershey -- sorry to hear that you are having to fight with your insurance company to get approved. Do you have the 2 co-morbidities? If so, then have your doctor's office resubmit with the correct weight. After all if you don't get approved, they don't get paid. Maybe see if you can talk to the doctor instead of his helpers. Good luck and keep us updated.

glitteryvampiregirl -- Congratulations on your surgery date.:thumbup:

-------------------------------------------------------------

:sad::w00t::sad::scared2: tomorrow I must return to work :thumbup::sad::thumbup::sad:

I sure have enjoyed my time off.

Cathy

thanks cathy... I am so ready....:thumbup:

Thanks for your support and wishes! Surgery is less than 10hrs away. Time for sleep now. Thanks again!

Hi Everyone - I just did some serious reading on this thread! You all are so supportive of one another. I met with my surgeon last week (a week after being approved) and got my surgery date last Thursday - September 10th.

SO many feelings - but I am sure you can all relate.

Looking forward to being on this journey with all of you!

Thanks to the already banded as well as your words about the procedure have brought me comfort.

Hi.

This process has been amazing for me! I attended a seminar on the 9th of Aug 2010. Met with the Doctor 2 weeks ago on a Monday. The following Monday I found out that my surgery was approved! My date is set for the 17th, only 8 days away now. I am getting more and more excited every day!
