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?

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

I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted on how you are feeling.

Didn't have trouble sleeping except the night I spent in the hospital. They wake you up about every hour for one thing or another.

I haven't been sleeping as well since I got home. Perhaps it is the pain meds.

Happy Band Day......Glad to hear you are doing well now take it easy and let the healing begin so excited for you

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

Happy Band Day.....

How are all my July bandsters doing so far??

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!

Feel better, and take it easy..... Hope you get a good night sleep

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

I was also banded the 20th with hernia repair. Gas hasn't been problem...a little bloating but not really painful. I think my appetite is starting to return some. My incisions are really starting to itch....but overall don't feel too bad. I wish all the other July bandsters good luck and quick healing.

july 9 here

Just got banded yesterday the 24th. Feeling good. Sore and weak - but better than I expected! Here we go!

Getting banded TODAY (July 25th). At hospital now, waiting to start prep. A little nervous but excited! It doesn't seem real just yet. All the best to everyone!

I also got banded yesterday...really sore but other than that I'm good! I haven't had problems with gas or anything like that...Hope everyone is doing great!!!
