Hi everyone! Just got word today that I will be banded on October 10. I have to go see my doctor once more, give more blood and go sit in a lapband class all prior to surgery. I am so excited. Any other October bandsters?

I'm not Oct but close I will be banded Sept 27!

Good luck!

Good luck to you too!

October 4th! Super excited...

I am October 15th. I'm excited to make the change but nervous too. Mostly worried about the pre-op diet, LOL.

Not really too close, but I am Sept 16th. Excited and nervous as heck!! Good luck!!

How is your pre-op diet going, Kelli1016?

It's good. I hit my pre-op weight loss goal a few weeks back. I see the doctor next week (I think, don't have my calendar in front of me, lol) and I'm guessing she's going to put me on a liquid or reduced diet until my sugery date...woop woop! Those'll be some good times. Ha ha. I haven't gained any but I haven't lost any more either (well, I've been teetering by about 3lbs). I've kind done OK with the plan they gave me but I do need to ramp up my exercise.

Does your doc or center have you on a specific diet?

Yes, I'll start my liver reduction diet on Sept 24th for surgery on Oct 15th. I'm really scared of failing, which is a recurring theme in my life, LOL!! I'll just have to give myself NO CHOICE!!

My doctors office wouldn't give a surgery date before you hit the pre-op weight loss. It's hard. I struggled with my last 5lbs for a couple weeks -- which was super frustrating. But you CAN do it! Best of luck!!! :-)

I am scheduled for October 18. I have to start my pre-op diet on September 20.

I start my pre op diet on 9/26. I am allowed 4 ounces of lean protein, 2 cups of veggies, protein shakes and any 0 calorie drinks. I am trying to prepare myself mentally for 10 days of this and the liquid diet for 2 weeks post op. we can do this....mind over matter.

I am scheduled for surgery on October 2nd. I start my pre-op diet on September 18th.

I'm tentatively scheduled for Oct. 30th. I have my group seminar, psychological & nutritional evaluation scheduled for this month. Super excited about beginning this new weightloss journey.
