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?

I'm getting banded July 13th..it's actually Friday the 13th and I don't know what to think of that. Trying to be positive and not think too much about it. My dr didn't require me to go on a diet but I'm nervous that I won't know what to do once I'm banded...even though I've been over everything a million times. I just don't want to fail

I am getting banded in July! July 2 as a matter of fact and I can't wait. I had visited this site early on in the... The phone just rang and I received confirmation of approval!!! (was a bit worried' date=' I'll admit). Can't Wait!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I am getting banded the same day! Good luck! We are almost there!

Good luck everybody I finish my last exam 18Jul I was too scared of disappointment to hope for a July surgery date I dont think my insurance will respond that fast so I think I will be a Aug bandster

My surgery date is the 18th of July!! Good luck for you!! I'm super excited!!

My surgery date is July 20th. I am excited...but also scared of the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Also apprehensive about complications.

I'm getting my band on the 12th. I'm excited and scared.

I'm getting banded July 26. Texas Teacher Insurance (BCBS) requires surgeries at only certain centers. I was assigned one closest to me. The surgeon is at that center once per month.

I was hoping for sooner, but I guess this will do. My insurance is paying 80%, so I'm good with that. No major hoops to jump through. Just BMI is taken into consideration to start the process.

Again I'm on the 10th it's getting close! I can't wait!!

I'm getting banded July 26! I'm so excited but I'm so nervous! My dr. has me on a two week pre-op diet. I can't eat anything that has eyes. I guess protein shakes will become my new favorite meal.

Mine is Tuesday the 3rd, less than 48 hours!!! I'm scared but excited as well, more afraid of the pain after then the actual procedure itself. But some folks say its not to bad.

I am so lucky, my friends had a pool party for me yesterday, even though I could not enjoy cocktails with them and stuff from the grill. The overwhemling support they showed me brought tears to my eyes. I am a lucky guy.

I'm getting banded July 18th!!!

My surgery is 7/9 & I can't do another day of this liquid diet

I'm getting banded on july 10th. Pretty nervous! This liquid diet is kicking my butt and it's only day 2...

I'm scheduled for July 20th! Can't wait! I start my pre-op diet July 6th (high protein, low carb, no fats).

My surgery got delayed to July 26. Not happy about having to wait another week but nothing I can do. I want to get this done so I can work on a new me

Having it done on July 17. i am on my second day of the total liquid diet of 5 shakes a day. Was only able to drink 4 yesterday as they are very filling.
