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 am scheduled for surgery on July 25. Today is the first day of my preop diet. If all goes well it'll be 2 wks fr today!

Hi everyone! I am getting banded July 18 would love some July friends!

Magsgirl, I am right with ya!! same surgery date . I did start my pre-op Monday just 2 days early. I do not have to do the liquids so I lucked out big time! I am still aiming to lose another 10-15 pounds 'more' before my day. I am nervous as all, more anxious every day. I am glad I have this site to keep my mind a little occupied in the meantime.

Keep in touch!

I'm getting banded on 23rd July too at Dolan Park by Mr A Sigurdsson. Nerves beginning to kick in! Any advice would be helpful.

I'm day 6 post op; got the Realize band and had a hiatal hernia repair. I've resumed normal activities except lifting. Get your stuff ready (Gas x strips, puddings, protein shakes, s/f beverages, etc.) The procedure itself was not as painful as I would have imagined. I only had to take pain meds twice. You will need to move around to help with gas pains -- those were the worst, but Gas X strips and walking helped. Also, make sure you get a RX for nausea medications for the date of your surgery. You don't want to battle that! Good luck!

July 27th

I'm scheduled for 7/23 in Dorian AL. Start my liquids on Friday 7/13

My surgery is in 5 days...excited, nervous and anxious all at the same time

I was banded in July... I just celebrated my 6th year of being banded.

You are going to love your band.

This is a great place for information.

Feel free to ask any questions.

5 more days until i will be banded anxious,nervous and excited im glad i joined so i have others who can relate!!

Tom, wonderful job there.. Congratulations on your weight loss success and of course helping with their journey

I found support from other bandsters to be a key to keeping my weight off.

I host several coffee groups a month in my area for people that are banded or looking into the procedure.

I also still get weighed in every month with my family doctor... I don't own scales... this keeps me on track and motivated.
