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.

Good luck to all September bandsters during Thanksgiving week. I'll be in Mazatlan, Mexico trying to be good! Happy Thanksgiving!

karey: Have a great time on your trip to Mexico! Don't let those margaritas get the better of you.

I'll try to do the same. We'll be in San Antonio for a few days next week, taking our granddaughter to Sea World.

Hope you have a fun and Happy Thanksgiving!

Got my first fill -under fluro on Tues this week. Could drink the 6 oz water after in less than 5 minutes. Havent really noticed a difference. Hopefully it will tighten!!

I can't believe there are 98 pages to this page - don't think I've checked in since there were maybe 60 pages.

Well, I've had two fills now and I have ZERO restriction. I mean I could eat an entire pizza if I so chose - which I don't of course - but I can't believe that I could at this point! My Dr. did tell me that I have the larger band, which holds more, but he's already given me 5cc. Says I should start to feel restriction at the 3rd or 4th fill (which I'll have by the end of this year), but geezzzzze - Frustration Station.

Anyone else out there with the larger band having the same issues as impaitent me?

Hopeworks: I'm in the same boat as you! Not losing, eating too much, no restriction, disappointment and frustration. I'm scheduled to go back right after Thanksgiving though. But I feel like I'm wasting some time without help from the band.

Guess we gotta get through this until we find our "sweet spot". Grrrr.

I know some of you won't be here for the weigh in but this is just a reminder. Please remembe to weigh in as soon as you can.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I'm thankful for my family and losing weight!!

Another 5lbs down, weighing in at 216 today...

Mom of Many - Weigh In for Christmas Challenge : -2 this week!!

M.O.M 190 this week -2!! Slow and steady. Happy Thanksgiving!!

M.O.M. finally down -1. It's the one I gained in the beginning. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

well its 174 for me...cant seem to move past it ~darn it!

I'm down 4 for the week! That takes me to -20 for the challenge, and I'm -50 since surgery! :) I like those nice round numbers! (Not that I want to stay here or anything. )

Hi,

I gained 2 pounds this week, dammit! I joined the gym and have been working out like crazy and eating right, I know I just have to give it time.

Hello MOM,

My first fill is doing well for me. I lost 3 this week and am down to 273.

Happy T'Day everyone........be good!

Mom,

Down 1 here.
