My surgery is also on Aug 17. Nervous and excited!!! I am on 70g protien at least, 10g fat, and 30 carbs.

Ellen, I'm in Skagit County. Close enough?

Close enough. Where are you getting banded?

Close enough. Where are you getting banded?

I was banded eight months ago today at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, and I've lost 109 pounds so far - awesome!! Dr. Ross McMahon was great to work with. I have Tricare Prime, and after a few false starts with other clinics who I learned didn't accept my insurance, I was referred to him. The experience was amazing, and I have no regrets.

I have a coworker who was banded at UW about 18 months ago. He says they were great to work with, too. I think you're in good hands.

Good luck with your surgery!
