Calling all upcoming bandsters...

I just wanted to start a thread where everyone can post their surgery dates and we can start to compare notes.

I am scheduled for 9/12. I have ALL my pre-op stuff next Wed & Thurs, including psych eval, sleep consult, lab work, 4 hr nutrition class, and pre-op appt with surgeon. It is going to be a couple of very full days.

My parents are coming for a visit the following week, and I don't plan on telling them about the surgery, so I am rushing to get through all of that before they get here.

How is everyone else doing getting their pre-op stuff scheduled?

Here is the list of September Bandsters: I'll try to keep it updated for everyone.

Up 3 lbs. this week. Goodbye onederland, I'll be back!!!

M.O.M. lost 0 this week . That's okay it's not a gain from Thanksksgiving. (NSV) right? Good luck to everyone. :clap2: You can do it!!!

I saw my Dr. today and I get my second fill on Fri morning at 10AM,:clap2: I am very excited about that. My food does not last 3 -4 hours after I eat, I am hungry after 1 1/2 hours. So he said it was time and Fri. will be 6 weeks since the last one.

Later.

*sigh* I gained 1 pound this week.. Kinda depressing considering Mr Tidy Bowl and I became very acquainted... Oh Well!! I was so wanting to hit wonderland soon!!

OK I'm back. No loss but no gain either. And on reflection, that is a miracle. We took 3 teenagers and a 9 year old to Washington D.C. and have had several birthday parties, 2 directors meetings in Okla. that I had to fly to and stay out of town several days at a time, incredible job stress, Thanksgiving, and guests for the past 2 weeks and I have not gained a pound. WoooooHoooooooooo!!! You guys have perked me right up! Thanks. AND...I am ready to start again and keep going down. Katt

aaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhh.......... wt +2 there is always next week!! Im probably FOS- full of shit. TMI I know!! Having struggles with my intestines!!

Hi MOM,

Nothing to report here. No loss, but no gain either. Tomorrow is my third fill. I hope I feel restriction this time!

Hello all, I am reporting that I lost 2 pounds this week. Wishing the best for everyone in the week to come..

Well, I'm reporting a 2lb gain. I need to focus on exercise this week and get back into a routine. I go for a second fill next week and cant wait!

Tami or was it TrueBlue, who is doing so well and exercising 3 hours a day?

Not me! I just joined an exercise club, but haven't developed a habit, yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't been in over a week. Gotta get off the 'puter, and onto the treadmill!

Tami

Just wanted to check in for Monday weigh in. Luckily, I already lost the 4 pounds I gained in Mexico. I guess it was water weight. That being said, I didn't lose any weight either. So for the Christmas goal, it's a zero. Tami, I hope you're feeling better. It is weird to get restriction so late. Late us know what happens. Happy Monday everyone!

Karey, I'm glad that water weight came back off so quickly!

I'll know today whether I'm still having trouble eating. I stuck with liquids the past two days. Unfortunately, they weren't necessarily the best liquids, though. I searched all around for a Smoothie place yesterday for lunch but couldn't find one. So, I decided that a milkshake couldn't be all that bad. OMG, my advice...don't EVER get a Chick-fil-a chocolate milkshake. When I got home, I checked the website, and that sucker was over 700 calories! And it was orgasmic! I'll never get my Chick-fil-a milkshake virginity back again, so I'll have to rely on good old abstinence!

Tami

Hi all-

I haven't been on-line in a while...so I thought I should try and get back into the groove of things.

I went in for my first fill on the Monday the 27th..

I have the V.G. Band, and I got 4.8 cc's

I was happy, I wanted at least 4 cc's

We'll see how much restriction I feel in a week or two..

Wish me luck!

I was banded on 9/1/06...to date I have lost 25 lbs. My 2nd fill they over filled me. I had them draw .5cc out. It has been 3 weeks since they took it out and now I am trying to determine weather or not I should go back in and have them put maybe 1/2 that amount in? I do not feel that I am loosing the correct amount of weight each month. Any suggestions?

MOM- my weigh-in for the week is 297. I am so excited.

Second fill on Wednesday of last week and already 4 pounds down.

Well Well Well, Hello Kiddos!

I do hope you all had a great Holiday, and if you are were like me you ate crap you know you should'nt have, and some of the damn food just jumped in me belly! but what the Hey it was Thanksgiving!!!

Sorry I did'nt post on Monday, but I'm back now. You guys rock!!
