So I just got the call from my surgeons office I go in for my pre op group meeting on may 7. I'm waiting on a call from the person who sets up the surgery schedule to set my date. We're shooting for the week of may 13 which would mean I start my pre op diet next week! Ah it's all feeling real now!

Anyone else getting banded around this time? I'd love to have someone on the same timeline as me to talk to!

Good luck to all!

I just finished up the last of the 6 months of doctor visits and my paperwork is being submitted to my insurance as I type this. My sister is also being banded on May the 9 so we can motivate each other.

Ft Worth Here I will be banded on May 2 Started pre-op on Monday and I am down 2lbs

Hello! I will have my surgery on May 10th! how excited! good luck and best wishes for everyone here!

Good luck! I can't wait to find out what my date is! I'm supposed I hear back this week!

Hi everyone! I'm being banded on May 6 in Dallas. I'm 4 days into the pre-op diet. Not too bad. It's just like most other diets I've been on. For those of you considering powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, I think the unflavored in water+crystal lite tastes the best. I love chocolate and hate the chocolate shakes.

What am I most scared of? Being stuck and getting a stomach virus/throwing up uncontrollably. I don't want to do anything to mess up the band. Too much money riding on this attempt to lose weight.

I am getting banded on May 15th in Dallas. I have started on the pre op diet now to get into a routine so that on May 1st I will be used to it. I am nervous also about doing all of this a not seeing results. Good look to everyone

bebe2013...Who is your surgeon? Mine is Marsden. I was very pleased when I met him and I hear good things about him. Are you going through True Results?

Yes I am using True Results. I believe it is Dr Benevides? I have not met him yet

I go to pre op monday..im on day two of pre op diet..my surgery is may 9th..im feel delusional because I cant eat..im sitting in my car afraid to go in the house because I dont want to eat what im not suppose to..how do u get past the hunger pains?? Anyone?

Great idea to start early. Think I will do the same. May 23 is my band day. Very nervous but soooo ready! My fear is feeling okay after surgery. I pray for a speedy recovery and sad to say a quick return to work. Boy I thought I would never say that. Lol!

Good luck to all the May bands!!

My hunger pains just eventually went away. I hope the same for you!!

The hardest part has been getting used to the protein shakes but that is getting better. I officially start my pre op on May 1st. I have to call though not sure how many carbs are okay for the shakes to have?

I'm starting my two week diet tomorrow & surgery May 10 Yeah!!! I live in Chicago
