July 2006 Band Crew

[Time2live 0]

I'm getting banded by Dr.Kuri in Mexico on July 8th with my best friend. Sooo sooo exicted. 6 days left of last suppers before my pre-op. Just trying to get everything organized and ready for me so that I can be stress free afterwards. Good luck everyone with your surgeries! I'm sure we'll all need a cheering section in the coming months.

I will be banded on July 12, 2006 by Dr. Lavin in Covington, Louisiana. I will start my pre-op diet on July 28...not looking forward to it, but Dr. Lavin does allow you to eat a little bit on some days, but mostly wants me to drink Protein Drinks. I am very excited and scared at the same time...Good luck to all of you out there that are to be banded soon...

Hi Everyone,

I'll be banded on the 27th of July!! Nice to meet everyone & Good luck! It's so great to have such a great support group. We'll all be going through the stages together... For me, I'll be learning a lot from all of you whom will be banded before me.

I'm 36, married to a wonderful man and we have 2 girls 12 and 2. We live in NH.

:canada:My date is July 5th, in Ontario, with Dr Cobourn, hey...I just got a flashback of playing Clue...lol

I'm on my 2 week pre-op diet of Opticrap shakes. My mouth tastes like rubber...but that means it's almost over! WOOT!:biggrin1:

So is everyone remembering to take "before pictures"? I also plan to take pictures of my incisions to show before and afters of how they heal. (I'm thinking it may help if I ever have to explain the surgery to another obese person who wants to know about the surgery in depth) Anyone else?

HOORAY FOR JULY!! can't come quick enough...:clap2:

Best of luck to all my Compadres!

I will be taking photos the morning I leave for surgery and then again when I get home. I hope to start my journal then. I want to offer anything I can for those who'll be getting surgery, just as the others have done for me.

I will be banded on July 27 in Toronto.

I've been on Atkins induction for just over two weeks now - anyone else on a pre-op diet of some kind?

I'm on day 7 of my two week pre-op diet...some days are harder than others. I have chocolate Royale Slim Fast powder with 2% milk and chocolate Protein powder blended in my smoothie maker with ice. It makes a big shake and it's the only thing I can tolerate. I couldn't choke down the CIB. Otherwise it's sugar free Jell-O, sugar free popsicles, chicken broth, Crystal Light, Water, and my beloved caffeine free diet coke (that I'll have to give up after being banded).

My banding date is July 5th - Dr. Lenz in Duluth, MN:biggrin1:
