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 a July Bandster. I got banded July 20. Im feeling better today. At first I thought I was gonna die. lol At least now I can lay down and get a good night sleep.

Surgery today! 30 minutes till I need to be at the hospital. Not nervous, yet.

Good Luck!!

My surgery today too. Have to be at hospital at 12:30 pm. Feeling like the quiet before the storm!! Very calm. Lost 8 pounds on pre-op diet.

Good Luck

Good luck to everyone i was banded a week ago today im feeling better just a lil sore at my port and i only have one incision through my navel and that is getting better im still doing liquids until friday when i go for my post op visit!

My surgery was Wednesday July 18, I was very exited about the surgery but cant not lie, the first couple of days were rough. Gas pain was awful, regardless of the gasX strips, as a matter or fact I still have some have gas pain. Now that its been 5 days I am better and planning to go to work tomorrow.

My only complain is that there are instances during the day where I do feel hungry. Any suggestions

I am getting banded on July 26. It is coming up in just afew days! I am bored with the liquid diet but am losing weight quickly on it. Good luck to everyone having surgery this month.

Lots of July bandsters here-- Best of luck to the ones who had their surgeries in the several days, hope you are all recovering, taking it slow, and easy. Keep us posted on your progress.

<------ 2 more days to go

Surgery 719...Yea, I was very surprised that we don't get any restriction till after post op appt. and swelling goes down.

I do feel like I can eat more than the 1/2 cup, but try to stop at that point. So afraid I will gain weight. My post surgery full liquids diet says to eat 5 small meals a day. So I would have some lite yogurt or lite yogurt smoothies around to help thru the hunger. Or maybe some sugar free jello so you aren't' getting to many calories.

Good luck

I was also banded the 20th. Today is definitely better than yesterday. Still have gas pains in my chest and shoulder that takes my breath away but prayerfully it'll be over soon

Surgery tomorrow morning @7:30. . Anyone able to sleep the night before?

7 days to go .... I have finals all week and trying to focus but its completely impossible! My last final is 18 hours before my band...I pray I pass with my nerves on end. The liquid diet has me in a fog and making studying a b@#$*!!!!

I was able to sleep just fine the night before. Didn't start getting nervous until I was here and in the surgery room! Good luck with your surgery today .

It hurt a lot less than I was expecting overall

Good Luck

Thanks. Surgery went well. No pain just hard to take deep breath from hernia repair. Didn't sleep much last night hope tonight is better!
