I just got home from my surgeon's office, and my surgery will be Sept. 2nd, 2010. I thought maybe we could all get together and try to support eachother through the dreaded pre-op diet and all the pre-op nervousness that goes along with being banded. Hope to hear from you soon!

i had my first appointment today -i take back all my paper work tomorrow and turn it in my doctor said i will be doing some test next week then i will get a date for surgery it goes pretty fast they said so i think around sept 1st

Sept 22nd here! I have an appt with my surgeon on Sept 2 for pre-op testing. Then, I have a nutrition seminar on Sept 14. I certainly won't be as long as it has been! I can't wait!

I am hoping for the third weekend in September if everything goes well!

im very excited about it ...i have tried diets and working out i just cant do it on my own so i need this lapband to help me

everyone that's posted is within a ten year age range, too - alot of us in our late 20's! Even better!

Wow, that's reallly cool that we're all the same age range! We need to pull together and get through this together!

My name is Erin - and I'm about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City.

Oh wow - we're close!

I am all for that. I go Thursday for my diet class and pre op test and I know I will need help.

hey there! so glad to see this thread i had all of my psych testing done and saw my surgeon on the 11th so now i am just waiting for the psych doc to send it over to the surgeons office so they can send it to my insurance (domino effect) :cursing: i am hoping for good news! i just turned 29 so yay late 20's group :frown:

pooky032281 congrats on your surgery date!!!! so exciting! did they put you on a liver shrinking diet? if so how is that going? and what did they tell you that you could eat?

I start my diet on Monday...we can "eat" any cream soups, cottage cheese, jello, popsicles...and of course protein supplements. It's all liquid which doesn't make me too happy, but anything to get this thing done. I am so ready!

For sure! Pooky where are you located? My name is trisha and I'm in Fort Worth Texas.

Hey blondeej! I also live in Funkytown (Fort Worth)!

I just finished all of my appointments and paperwork on Thursday so I hope to hear something soon. I'm praying to have my surgery in September.

I guess I kind of messed up the late 20's group thing since I'm 35. :frown:

My date is september 1st.
