Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning, and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.

Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?

Thanks for the tip.... My surgery is tomorrow ( tue July 16)

Good luck tomorrow!!

My surgery is tomorrow too!!! Good luck band buddy!!

My surgery is the 19th of July and I am highly anxious. I hated the texture of the protein shakes but have been doing fair on pre op diet. I am ready to get surgery over with and would love to have support of people who are on same path I am...

Thanks for the support. ; ). packing for Houston, surgery is at 9 am

----fingers crossed

FYI: "The BIG Book on Lap-Bands" really helped and has greatly reduced my stress... it is very comprehensive.

Who's your surgeon? I just had surgery last week with Dr. Reilly.

And good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow, see y'all on the other side!

Chest pains on right side...not sure if its just the gas but I can't take really deep breathes....don't want it to be a blood clot!!!

I'd walk - even slowly - to see if that helps, and call your doctor.

Day 5 post op and attempted to work a half day f home office. 90 min at desk did me in. I'm pooped.

Day 6 post op and I lasted 6 hours at work. I was so tired and my back was killing me! Trying for 6 hours again tomorrow.

I hope I'm not too tired tomorrow! I have 4 hours of school tomorrow and 2 of them are standing up during a lab, plus driving 3 hours tomorrow morning back to school!

My surgery is tomorrow at 7:30 am I'm a big ball of nerves at this point excited and ready to get started....lost 16pds in my pre op diet!!

U might want to leave early so u have time during it drive to pull over and stretch if u need to. And listen to your body. If u need to take a break, do!
