Is anyone being banded in May? My surgery date is May 3rd. I am starting to get a little nervous, but I know this is the best decision I have ever made! Any tips or suggestions for pre-op and post-op from all welcomed!!

I found out today, I am being banded MAY 2nd!!!! I am so excited. But it seem like it is still a dream to me, has not sunk in yet I guess. I start my pre-op tomorrow. Doc. has the pre-op diet in two stages. First stage is two weeks, one Protein Shake in the AM and low carb meals for lunch and dinner, no snacking. Then last two week is all liquid. We will be May bandsters together. Let me know how you are doing, okay!!

I am in Louisville, KY and get banded May 16.

I have not been given any instructions yet on a pre-op surgery....I am just learning from everyone here on the forum what to do. I go May 4 for all my lab work and they said to plan on being there for 6 hours or so. I wonder if that is when they will give me pre-op instructions.....regardless, I plan to do a full 14 days of a pre-op diet, mainly of liquids/puree/mushy with low carbs to shrink the liver......

Good to have a bunch of us May banders!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
