I am so excited I had to post... I got my surgery date, it's going to be July 6th!!! Any other people being banded in July? Congrats to anyone who recently got a surgery date! I am very new to the site so if anyone wants to be message buddies I'd love that! Although I can't inspire anyone just yet, I could use a little inspiration... especially once my 2 week liqid diet starts.

I can't believe that one day I will no longer weigh this hideous number!

Yippy !!! you wil be soo happy !!! glad for you, i was banded on 3/23/11 , the pre op diet will def help you after surgery, its kinda like getting you ready for after surgery, hang in there !!

Thanks so much I know some surgeons don't require a pre op diet but I am glad mine does only because, like you said, it'll help prepare me for after surgery. Congrats on 37 lbs lost!!! I currently weigh 272, I hope to drop 37 in that time too. I know it takes alot of hard work but I'm ready.

I weigh 267 and getting banded on 6/30. My surgeon doesn't require a liquid pre-op diet but I wish he did....... Good luck with your surgery
