Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here.

MAY 3RD HERE I COME! ! !

I'm getting banded May 3rd. I do my liquid diet sunday and monday!.. I can't wait to be banded on Tuesday

Me too! I had to do a two-week liquid diet.... SO TIRED OF LIQUIDS! Haha! Good luck with your surgery!

My surgery has officially been scheduled for May 17th. I start my pre-op diet on May 3rd. I am very excited. Did any of you have a "last Meal"? My dietician told me that she didn't reccomend it because I will be getting food back, but I feel I want to have one last really good meal before I start the liquid diet.

Thanks, Michelle

Oh yes... I had several "last meals" I ate all of my favorites the week before my liquid diet... but I tried not to over do it with any one meal. I know they say you get to eat again one day... its just hard to imagine with all of the restrictions being put on you! But we just have to have faith! Good luck with everything!

5 days and counting down till surgery.

Hi Everyone

Im all booked in too. I had an endoscopy on Wednesday and the band is booked for the 26th I felt like a stalker requesting for a call incase someone has a change of circumstance and they can fit me in sooner.

Ill be thinking of you all and cant wait to undertake this journey with you all. Kim

I have gone through all the steps and am just waiting for the insurance to approve. I am hoping to be banded in May (end(. I am excited to see the changes, but a bit nervous at the same time.

Tomorrow is officially May!!!!!!!!

good luck to those of you who are getting surgery this week!!!!!

I am still having my last meals... I want everything, I'm glad I'm not the only one. My one week pre op is Tuesday.

Nervous, nervous, nervous!!!!

I am scheduled to be banded on May 31st. I'm excited and scared all at the same time!!

Woooo hooo!! I just got word I am being banded May 31st!!

ME TOO!! Hooray!!!

I did the first part of my shopping today. Got some protein shakes to start trying, picked up some blender bottles, some sugar free jello, and some crystal light. I want to start getting use to my new way of eating so I'm going to start my pre liquid diet diet by doing a shake for breakfast and lunch then having dinner. I still need to pick up a blender. I just can't settle on which one to get. I also picked up gummy vitamins and gummy fiber supplements. Any suggestions on the blender? I'm stuck between the magic bullet, the ninja, and the oster my blend. Thx for the help.

My date is May 11. So excited. I only have to do the liquid diet for three days prior to surgery. I almost feel guilty. Two weeks has got to be tough, I know three days will be. My doctor said its to shrink the liver so it makes the surgery easier for him and keeps the liver out of the way. I'm sure by May 10 the nerves will kick in. I'm only scheduled to be out of work for a week, based on what their office has told me. I hope I'm not pushing it.

We have the same date!!

I'm May 11 too - we can all share a new Birthday!!

My surgery is set for May 10 in York PA with Dr Monk. I am very excited. But this 10 day pre op diet is..........not fun.

2 more days for me. At this point, it kinda seems unreal, like it's not really gonna happen.

I'm not a May 2011 bander, but a May 2010 bander. Just wanted to say good luck to you guys! Can't believe it's almost been a year.
