Hi, I'm being banded on July 29th.

Any other July banders out there?

It's going by so quickly!

Will be getting my date today at my pre op appointment. Shooting for July 15th!! I'll update after my appointment today. Feeling excited

How's everyone doing? Did you get a date newne? I have pre-op appt Thursday. I'm starting to get some walking in and enjoying it.

Tomorrow's the big day! I'm so nervous and excited. Just need to get through today. Was on all liquids yesterday and will be today also and I have the worst headache.. Good luck to everyone that's having surgery tomorrow!

Congrats @@alyssaajoan! Will be thinking of you. So exciting. Let us know how it goes!

Hi there. My name is Tatiana I'm from Dallas, Tx. I'm scheduled for my LapBand on July 24th. This seems like a great group so I though I would join the chat.

I got my date. I get banded July 8th. I start preop diet tomorrow. I am really excited and a little nervous.

How was/is preop treating you? Your date is right around the corner! How exciting

I've decided to start my preop a week early, well a week and two days to be precise. I was eating so well and dropping weight slowly but went back to old habits and may have gained a few pounds. So I figured an extra week of preop won't hurt and will help in the long run

How is everyone going? It's already a week into July, it's crazy!

Going in to surgery at 1030 today! Ready for the rest of my life!!

Welcome Tatiana! You're the same date as me. Are you doing anything to prepare?

Thank you! Your the first person I have seen with the same date . You know mostly just a lot of research and I have been reading a book true results have me. Mostly I'm just ready! I start my pre-op diet on the 10th. How about you?

Congrats to all of us for making this decision to better our lives. I finally have a surgery date of July 16th. I start my high protein low card diet today until surgery. I am nervous and excited at the same time. But I have a great support system behind me and this forum is also very helpful.

Ok so at the hospital now about to get the IV's in.. Anesthesiologist just came in to prep me.. Kinda nervous at this point but truly ready to win this hard fought battle!

Hi all, I was banded on the 1st July! So day 6 post op. Best thing I ever did so far! On liquid diet still and not much hunger at all. How is everyone getting on with their pre op diet? I had to do mine for 10 days prior to surgery xx

Wow! So exciting to be part of everyone's journey! @@operation_newme I go for pre-op visit on the 10th so I think I'll be up on diet at that point. Right now it's low carb. I'm definitely addicted to the sugars and carbs so breaking those now and getting in the walking. @@messagetosiobhan sounds like you're really doing well. Recovery is going good?
