Anyone Getting Banded In July?

My tentative surgery date is July 23rd because of my work schedule. It may change by a week but it looks like I'm gonna be a July baby. Anyone else out there that will be banded in July?

    Me too! Looks like July 10th for me! I am starting to really get excited! A little nervous for the 2 week pre-op diet. Don't know if I will be able to handle it! After all that's why I need the Lapband!

    I am hoping for July 11. Will see what Dr. Ahmad says on Tuesday. So excited despite getting some negative feedback from some family!

    Yeah the Dr said I have to be on the Atkins diet for 2 weeks prior to surg. This way my liver will shrink and there will be more room to work and I won't have as much swelling
