I know it's early, but wondering if there's any one else getting ready to get banded in September? I have one more Ins required weigh in Aug 19 then my paperwork gets submitted for approval!

I was already told I'm on the schedule for September 27! Fingers crossed!

Just 12 hours until surgery. It almost doesn't seem real. Ready to be on the other side. My pre-op diet was pretty lenient so it wasn't terrible. I hope there will not be too much pain after.

I am looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing after surgery!

My surgery is tomorrow also!!! I have to be there at 730 am!! Getting nervous a little!! Good luck to everyone :-)

OMG. YAY...were almost there. I can't believe the day has finally come. I would love to hear how yalls surgery went and keep track of your progress since were all on the same day. Good luck to both of you.

I have my pre-opp apt today and have been going back and forth about this decision im so nervous. but today kind of makes it final Bc I am self pay and need to pay $3,000 at my apt today. If I make it to the apt today my surgery will be 9/16 ahhhhhhhhhhh

Hi I am new to the site as well and I just found out on Sept. 5th that I was approved for Surgery and I am officially scheduled for Sept. 27th so excited. I am really excited to go thru this new journey with my family and now you all!!! Wishing everyone much success and blessings!

Congratulations! And good luck

I started my pre op today..it was very hard and my head hurt most of the day. I am very stressed right now and its hard to focus on being excited about the surgery.

I was like that the first few days also but it gets better. I'm 4 days out from surgery still nervous but physically feeling better. I think it was sugar withdrawals and the drastic change of eating. Good luck

Surgery Today! Just arrived at the hospital. Good luck to all the other September bandsters!

You will do GREAT!!! Keep us posted!

Well tomorrow marks a week since I had surgery, and I have to say I am feeling pretty good. Im still tired every now and then, but over all i haven't had any issues. All the stari-strips are gone... and my tummy still looks like it went a few rounds with a boxer, but over all... this was cake. Mmmm cake.

Tomorrow I see my Doctor for my postop visit, and im guessing we will move on to mushies.... Pureed soups and smoothies also SF Popsicle have been my meal of choice when I want to eat. I can get a cup of stuff down at a time, just have to remember to eat slow, The burping kills. OMG.

Also, it still is sore to take a full breath, expand lungs to full, cause of incisions still healing, and maybe the other stuff that got moved in side during surgery.

I have also been sleeping on my side,kinda front since Monday. Found a heated throw worked good for the gas pains,if I wrapped it around my left shoulder, and over my tummy.

Ooo and haven't taken any pain meds (or 4 advil at night per my doctor) since Tuesday.

I hope you are all doing well, and if you have questions ask=)
