I just talked to my surgeon's office today. It looks like as long as I get done my nutritionist appointments and have my psych eval by the end of October, I should be able to have surgery in December!

I specifically asked to have it then because I work at a school. I think it would be better to use my given time off, instead of just picking random times off. I'd rather have it before the New year. Big changes for the new year :rolleyes2: And, lastly. I could easily wait until April for Spring Break.. but with the expected nicer weather I'd rather not. Not to mention having to wait EVEN longer The wait now is killing me.

Anyway... anyone ?!?! lol

I'm getting banded tomorrow, Dec. 16th. I was only on a 5 day pre-op liquid diet. All has gone well and I'm looking forward to sharing our experiences as we move forward. Keep posting and sharing your success stories.

I was banded yesterday 12/16/2010. Everything went great! Very little discomfort. I'm walking around quite a bit to relieve the gas and all is going well. 15 pound weight loss from 5 day pre-op liquid diet.

Hi! I also was banded on the 8th of December. How are you doing? Have you lost any weight since banded? What did you start at? What have you been eating? Are you on solid foods yet? I would love to hear how you are doing!

Thanks!

Dawn

:thumbup:I go in December 8th!! I have all my appointments done! I have to get labs done and chest x-ray! YEAH!! I am sooooo excited! Glad we have some December people here!!

I had to do the same thing! I was banded on December 8th. I lost 27 pounds before my surgery. and only 5 since my banding. I am so disapointed! How are you doing? What are you eating? I would love to hear more infor on how you are doing!

After months of waiting and anticipating, all the details/approvals/visits are done, and it's now less than two weeks till my surgery (Dec. 6th.) The Nutritionist has me on a high Protein, low carb preop diet to try and shrink my liver, so surgery will be easier. Did anyone else have this same process? How did it go for you?

And on another note, as I start to get even more excited anticipating surgery day, I'm wondering if anyone else is as spun-up about their surgery as I am about mine?

Hi J! Your user name is hilarious... I am cracking up laughing out loud :-)

I had my surgery on Dec 10th. The first week was rough for me. I have my hands full with my kids so that made it worse. My husband was great though! Hats off to him. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and I feel a million times better. Swelling is gone, starting to walk, stitches are still in but bandages are off. Things are looking good.

Don't be in a hurry to re-coop. Take your time! I did alot of laziness! Something I don't normally do too much.

Feel free to message me if you have questions! Congrats to us! 2011 will be a great year......
