July 18th for me. Just found out yesterday! Ahhhhh, i never thought it would come (fighting insurance) but i can officially say it now! Good Luck to all the July babies!

I am a July 18 bandster as well. I can't wait for my surgery today I went to buy the Vitamins, gas X and Calcium. Next week I will shop for Protein shakes etc. Doctor suggested Atkins shakes but I found that Premier Shakes have more Protein than atkins. Does anyone knows if I can use premier instead of Atkins.

My lap band surgery date is July 5. And I am so nervous, I pushed the date back from June 7 to this date. I don't really have the support I did when I was preparing for it. That's why I came on here.

Me, too (postponed from May 23 and now July 5)! Glad you've got the support now. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

I think it just depends on what you like taste wise and that you are getting enough protein. I can't remember the exact number, but I think it is 25 grams that your body can consume at one time. Good Luck!! I plan on using www.unjury.com , they have unflavored so you can put it in anything.

I just got my approval call and I will be banded July 11th. So excited!! It took 13 days for approval from my INS. Good Luck everyone!!

I am getting banded July 11 too. I am so excited. How is your preop diet going? What are you allowed to have? I can have 3 shake and Water only. :( But it is all good because it is worth it whatever I have to do. Did have a moment of weakness for some egg drop Soup, but I made it through.

I am on day 2. The hardest part is the time before my dinner meal which is when ur making it on only two Protein Shakes. I won't lie I'm a little edgy. But you will be fine. Just think about the beautiful after pics u can post next year.

Thanks for the kind words! I work nights so my schedule is all messed up, I will be having a shake before work then at work eat my lean cuisine and snack and Breakfast shake when I get home. I think I've already started mourning, lol...I cleaned out my fridge & shelves and I'm having my last Cherry Coke Zero's, Good Luck to you to, keep me updated!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
