Hey June band buddies - my surgery date was June 8th!

My surgery is scheduled for June. I am very nervous I have never had any surgery before.

Tomorrow is my big day. Can't sleep. I am nervous and excited.

You will do great

Those new to surgery who are scheduled for today - don't worry. Follow your docs instructions and take advantage of pain relievers as he or she instructs. Be patient, the first few days will be rough, but move around, walk as much as possible. Believe me, it will make you feel better faster by getting rid of the trapped gas in your innerds!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I'm day 3 post surgery and really feeling pretty good! Will be up and doing some chores around the house today, walking, SIPPING (my biggest challenge is not drinking too fast).

Keep us all posted on your progress!!! Hugs to all.

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I cannot wait! This liquid pre-op diet sucks! I am so hungry! I'm hoping and praying that I will be like many of you that are not hungry after surgery. Right now, I could eat a freakin cow! Good luck to you all, and see you on the other side!

So I'm starting my pre-op diet tomorrow. Except my boss has decided has decided to spoil us with food to thank us for a job well done. Tomorrow I have no idea what I can do he's ordered portugese chicken and steak sandwiches and rice and roast potatos...I knew the day would come at work where I would have problems but I didn't expect it to be the first day of pre-op. I'm allowed chicken and non-starchy veggies with FF dressing. I think I'll have a piece of chicken and salad with a little bit of dressing. I'll stay away from the sauces and bread etc.

The second is a BBQ on Saturday but I should be okay. I'll once again stick to a piece of chicken and I'll pack my own salad.

I just don't like starting out on the wrong foot!

My other problem is that I've been having trouble with my kidneys. My surgeon said it was okay to proceed with the surgery and my GP said it should be fine but he'd prefer me to meet with a specialist before the surgery to get an expert to okay it. Well that was 8 weeks ago and they haven't contacted me for an appointment. I'm just worried my GP is going to try and make me stop the surgery (I'm self-pay so its up to me in the end).

Oh well, over all I am super excited and ready to start my journey. I have completly stopped 'dieting' since I was approved for surgery and I actually feel bloated and disgusting. I'm looking forward to being forced on to my pre-op. I will take my official pre-op weight tomorrow morning and am hoping I can lose 5-10lbs before my surgery June 22nd.

almost a week into my pre op diet...not as bad as i thought but still ..the weekend is tough..everyone is going out and wants me to come and I am willing to try (with my protein shakes in hand) but the temptations are everywhere! June 18th is my surgery date...cannot wait!

I'm June 18th as well!!

Well I've been scheduled for surgery at 8:15 am in the morning 6-12-12 I'm super nervous I've never been cut on before so I'm getting jitters for sure! I've already lost 23 lbs from the liquid diet I've been on for two weeks so I'm sure my doctor will be happy. I'm a June bander too! I just turned 29 on 6-9 so this is a good present. Oh and just incase any one hasn't heard of banded Wendy on YouTube her videos are very helpful!! And skymoon's videos

Good luck to you! We'll have the same re-birthday!

Oh cool thanks for the luck I'm going to need it! I'm a ball of nerves.oh and happy birthday ; )

You'll do fine. This is my 4th surgery, so it's no biggie to me. I'm actually looking forward to the nice sleep. Lol

Lol your becoming a surgery pro. It's kind of sad I'm willing to have surgery to help me loose weight. I'm so tired of being so big that's whats pushing me through. I havnt told everyone about this just close friends and stuff not all of Facebook or anything. My husband is a little nervous since two women have left him after loosing massive ammounts of weight. Anyone else's spouse worried?? Don't get me wrong he is still super supportive.

I'm June 25th. Started my preop today. I am totally excited.
