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?

Bad Request

There was an error in your request.

(none)I'll be doing a shake for breakfast and lunch, and then low fat protien/veggies for dinner. Nothing TOO tough

Saw the cardiologist today. He scheduled me for nuclear stress test and echocardiagram. Two more tests and chipping away at work time. Should still have about 60 hours vacation time to take for surgery tho so it's ok. Filling up my days with all these tests and doc appointments!! Still hoping for a July 16 date. Will find out on July 3 at doc office.

I was scheduled for July 10th today! Yippee!!!!

Hello to all, I have a question? Any one having cravens or final goodbyes to certain food. My mind is telling me to have my last donut and cake...lol I have until the 27 June for Pre-Op appt to deal with these demons.

hey my name is sharon.. i just found out two days agao that i will be meeting with my surgeon on monday to get the final date. but i will be expecting that it will be in july.. mid prob. :) cant wait.. VERY excited!

I am scheduled for July 10th! The hospital just called for my pre-op blood work and told me i am tentatively scheduled for 2:00 and they have me staying over! I was hoping for first thing in the morning so i could go home! Waiting until 2:00 is going to be hard! I start my liquid on Tuesday the 26th and then on the 28th I have endoscopy! I am getting nervous - but i know i am doing the right thing!!

As of right now, July 17th is my surgery date! ;-)

CONGRATS

I don't know - it seems like every surgeon is a little different...The endoscopy is they go down your throat with a scope and check it all out - they can see if you have Hiatal Hernia this way and he will know if he needs to repair it when he goes in to band me! It is probably just another great way for them to make money?!?!
