August is upon let's hear from everyone getting banded August

ROLL CALL...15AUG who else is out there?

surgery went well trying to get Water in. going to rest. musicteacher hope all is well.

All is well, thank you joann852. I was told not to take my ADHD medicine today and made a fool of myself. When in the recovery room I asked the nurse what the second song was the Drs were listening to while my surgery was going on. Scared her for a minute. With my meds, I wouldn't have done that. Of course, I was out and couldn't hear the music.

Other than being a brat, I'm doing well. I took a walk as soon as I got back to my room and got home about an hour ago.

Surgery tomorrow morning (8/30) at 7:30am. Really excited but working today on my clear liquid only Pre-Op has really kicked my back-side. See ya'all on the other side!!!

Best wishes and congratulations tomorrow, MWoods! Let us know how you're doing afterwards.

Just completed my pre-op appointment! Surgery at 7am check in at 6. Home now and just finished the mag citrate. Dear lord I'm not looking forward to the next few hours. Good luck tomorrow fellow bandsters!

"This Too Shall Pass"

Mwoods, good luck to you and everyone else going in tomorrow! Let us know how you do.

Tomorrow morning at 7:30am im getting banded, I lost 30lbs during the pre-op!! Yea me!

Edit:

One clarification: I started a version of the pre-op shortly after my appointment with my nutritionist, so in about 1.5 months.

Also I didn't cheat once not ever, it wasn't always easy to walk away but I always did.

Good luck fellow Aug. 30th bandsters! I'm getting banded tomorrow morning as well @ 8:45. Will be so happy when this part is behind me. Keep in touch with your progress.

How are the aug 27th bandsters doing??? I am one of you still feeling very sore, boy the gas pains are tough. But doing better everyday. I hope everybody did well. Good luck to the rest of the aug. people still waiting or are going tomorrow. best of luck.

August 27 here -- I guess I'm doing okay. I feel like I have so many things that I have to take care of (kids starting school next week, starting a new job on Tuesday) but in reality the only thing I have to take care of today is myself.

And maybe the living room, 'cause DAMN!

Congrats to everyone

Officially 1 week post op and I'm glad it's here! A little rough the first week but it gets better by the day, believe that. Day 1, I would have never believed I would feel this good by day 7! Looking forward to 2 weeks post-op! Getting hungrier each day, my stomach actually growels now but it's quickly shut up with half a protein shake. By the half, I'm not hungry anymore. My first fill is September 25th!! I'm not regretting my choice, now to feel good enough to run again, tomorrow will be the test!

God speed to e everyone going in today and for those of you recovering. So good to hear both the before and after posts. Tomorrow is my day. Asking for good thoughts and prayers, especially for my hubby. He's quite worried, bless his heart.

Surgery day! I'm here at the airport waiting to go to the hospital

I made it to the other side. Thanks for all the well wishes. Good luck to all our August banders! I found out I was down 20 pounds just from the Pre-op diet. What a great start!!!

August 23rd was the magic day!
