So excited. Finally have my surgery date! June 6th! Super excited and scared and nervous. Any advice tips or anyone looking for a bandbuddy please hit me up

AM scheduled for June 4 th. Nervous, but ready. Looking forward to learning about everyone's experience / progress. I'll post when I can!

I am scheduled for the 29th. Is anyone else a little scared? I have a couple friends who've done it and it wasn't until yesterday that I felt nervous. I have to do a 2 week liquid so they're starting me June 15th and I'm nervous about that too. It's going to be ok right? And I'm going to live through it right? Haha I'm only half joking. Eek

After I went through the process of getting everything done and was approved, they call me friday and tell me they won't do the lap band because I have lupus

can anyone tell me if a person with lupus have another type of gastric surgery besides lap band

I have to be at the hospital at 530am on Monday the 4th. I'm excited!

I have to be at hospital at 8:30, I wish it was earlier!

June 5th for me today is my fifth day on high protein liquid diet

Hi June Bandsters! I'm new to this site as of yesterday and am appreciating all your posts, questions and input. I'm scheduled for 6/15 and am only 2 days in on Pre-op diet (yikes)! I haven't been to any classes (none offered) so LBT is proving especially helpful. I'm currently on my iPad and it doesn't seem to work as well as when I'm on the site via desktop. Anyone have any input on this?

Hello everyone! I'm new here & I love that y'all are so excited!! It makes me excited too I am scheduled Wednesday for my first appointment. I'm doing self-pay, so I'm wondering what's the soonest they will schedule my surgery? Is there a waiting period other than the two weeks for the liquid diet? Yay for all of you who are scheduled this week!!!

I am self pay also and once I'd gotten my paperwork turned in they told me a could pick any date at least two weeks out - so that I could do the liquid diet before surgery. I chose the date I did since I have the whole following week off but it did mean waiting a little longer for surgery.
