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.

Well, halle-freaking-luia, I finally lost some weight. I'm very restricted right now with 2.25 cc. Can only get about 2 oz of chicken down at a sitting so I'm eating a little bit more frequently. I'll start back with the Walking off the Pounds tape in the morning.

Went to a St. Patrick's party last night and got lots of compliments on looking good; very nice feeling.

Karey: I am getting breast augmentation this upcoming Friday. I do want a TT but I am going to wait until after my bandiversary. Things could change in another 6 months or atleast I can hope:) After being so heavy for so many years I'm not holding my breath!

We could start the challenge tomorrow -Weights posted could be end of St. Patty's challenge and swing right into the 4th of July challenge!

Anyone interested in keeping track this time around?

I'm in for the July 4th Challenge! Let's just hope I can actually make a dent in my weight this time! The St. Patrick's day challenge went practically unnoticed by me 'n my band. I am supposed to be getting another fill on Tuesday. I am going to freak if this doesn't help!!! I've had 5 fills already and still not losing well. Still hungry almost all the time. Still able to eat too much.

Starting weight 218 - 177current - 140goal

Surgery date: September 11, 2006

I'll weigh in the morning to set my July 4th start point.

Good luck everyone!~!

I am down 3lbs this last week and starting the 4th challenge at 180lbs.

I'm starting at my current low weight of 228.2 for the July 4th challenge, and also my weight for today.

My current weight is 177 - for the July challenge.

I'm in for the July challenge! I hope I can do better than the St. Patty's challenge. I had a small fill today (.2 cc). I hope this gets me to that sweet spot. My starting weight for the July 4th challenge is 189. I would love to be at 160 by July 4th! I'm going to work really hard to get there. Who's keeping track?

MimIn: I wish the best with your surgery. You'll be in my prayers. Let us know all about it. Very exciting!

MinIn: Thanks for doing the challenge again. If it gets to be too much for you, especially after your surgery let me know and I'll give it a go. I'm not real great at the computer, but I could try if you need to be spelled off. I hope more are going to answer the challenge!
