I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Jeanie and Auntie Phyll, thank you so much! It doesn't feel real. I'm sure after tomorrow it will feel plenty real w/the soreness, gas pain, etc. LOL.

Hi Dini! How are ya?

Hi Dini! How are ya?

I really haven't had any gas pain at all. Some pain in the shoulders, but pretty much gone today. A little port pain, well controlled with the luquid vicodin. Haven't had any since early this morning. Don't need it much now. I'm really pleased with how I'm feeling and how things are going, especially for an OLD broad like me!!

Chim - that's right sister, you jump around! I'd say stay up all night and have some fun, but really....sleep on your tummy, it will be a while before you're comfortable doing that again! (it doesn't hurt me, just makes me too aware that I'm doing it...therefore, uncomfortable)

Hey, I got some kids for sale....anyone interested?

Don't say that! You're not an old broad! You are a beautiful woman w/just a few years, experience, and wisdom under your belt.

I'm glad the pain hasn't been that bad. I have a very high tolerance for pain, so I'm praying I'll be okay w/this.

hey i found some trainers in my car so i didn't need to go to my mom's

chonboree i'm good girl and you. tomorrow is your day babygirl. can't wait to hear how you got on.

Momma you out there? how you doing?

AuntyPhly you still around?

Hey guys,

Count me in as July Banster as well as my friend Gingersnap. We both were banded yesterday, July 23rd. We feel pretty good. It was great to have Ginger right across the hall. I am feeling ok...just taking it slow. Look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi Everyone,

I'm back, I just got home. I'm going lay down, I really sore, and things are a little blurry. It may be the patch behind my ear. My throat is sore.

ah mango hope your feeling better realy soon, talk when your more up for it.

bostonchic welcome! thats great that you had your friend there, i have a friend that was thinking about it i was hoping she would do it so we could do it together but then she said its a waste of money, but i didn't tell her i went through with mine.

Denise is HOME!! Good for you!

Thanks, Chim! I don't really feel old!! You're going to do great tomorrow. Do you have to stay overnight?

Yeah, I'm still here, Dini. Glad you found your shoes!!

We're going to head over to our daughter's house in a little while. Good change of scene and DH gets to have normal dinner!! I'll take some cream soup.

Today was my first day back at work since surgery. It wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon, I felt pain where my port is but that's it.

The problem I did have was I got so busy working that I'd forget to drink. 20 - 30 minutes would go by and I'd see my bottle sitting there so then instead of sipping, I'd take a gulp and pay for it with discomfort for a few minutes.

I'm seriously thinking of putting a pop up reminder on my computer every 5 minutes to take a sip of water. That way I won't forget.

Welcome BostonChic and Gingersnap! Congrats on your banding! How neat is that to have your friend alongside you. This is an awesome group. We're so glad you've joined us. Jump right in.

Auntie Phyll, yes, I will be staying overnight, so I'll be home on Thursday. My hospital room has wireless internet, but I no longer have a laptop.

Mango, yay!!! Glad you're back. Get some rest and talk to us when you're up to it.

Marcy, - I can't believe it's here. Wow. It's here. The butterflies have started. BTW, I'm a side sleeper, but I won't be able to do that for a while b/c the port will be on the side I favor!

Go chimmy, it's your BANDDAY, we're gonna party like it's you BANDDAY!!!LOL, I'm sooooo excited for you to finally be getting this done.

Just got back from my first support meeting. I love my Doc. Not bad, but we are combined Band and Bypass patients. There was an excercise person supposed to talk tonight, but she had two sick little ones at home. So it ended up being open discussion. Have I mentioned the fact that I love my Doc, no REALLY. He has got to be the most beautiful creature I have seen, with these piercing blue eyes. MY GOD, and I'm married!!!!!!!!! He's Fu***ing HOT, and I don't cuss, so that's telling you something. OMG, and when I look at him, I get chills up and down my spine, and all I can do is smile. Why does he have to be soooooo gorgeoous, and my age- I'm 8 days older than him. WOW, don't tell my DH, I won't be able to get my fill next week!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome bostonchic and gingersnap!

Lynette, my dentist is like your doctor, my lord he is HOTT! i'm lying in that chair looking at him blues eyes, ahhhhhhhhhh my lord! i can't wait to go to the dentist when i've lost my weight, had my boob job and tummy tuc! ah yeah he's gonna look weather he likes it or not!!!
