Hey all you July Banders!!! I thought it would be nice if we could all start getting to know each other. I have my surger on :usa: JULY 5th. I'm so excited and nervous. All these feelings coming at the same time is so weird. I'm realizing now that i need more support than i thought i would.

So lets get started by introducing ourselves. :welcome:

Olive - July 6 :nervous

Hi, My date is July7th in Toronto, Ontario. I've been on the pre op diet of cottage cheese and yogurt for 6days now. I know I'm in ketosis as my mouth always tastes bad! I can't wait to get to the clear fluids! Good luck to everyone!

Well.............

I AM BANDED!!

for all the worriers out there. its not as bad as you are probably thinking it is.

I wouldn't say i am in any pain but i am having odd twitchings and weird feeling.

Other than that I think i'm going to get thru this healing process quickly.

So glad to see you made it through just fine July5th!!

I thought of you and all our other surgery buddies when I was waiting for the anesthesia to kick in. So nice to have friends in the same boat.

Look forward to hearing how it went...

Take care,

Sunshine

sunshine,
