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?

AuntyPhyl thank you, I'm hoping it gives me a kick start again, i've eaten nothing today, i've drank some water and a glass of low fat milk that is all.u?? how are yo

Momma DMTJET, 1 of the fustrating things ever is waiting in a doctors queue, the other fustrating thing is when they say its an emergency they have to go ahead when you know its not an emergency at all its just its a friend of the doctors. ahhhhhhh

Oh course you can know my B-day. Its july 29th! My mom is away so i'm working on it and my brothers dont even know its my b-day but thats cool cos there boys, But Adam best not be forgetting or ELSE!!!!!! How are you??

IndioGirl, I think my MommaDMTJET already answered you but 1 stone = 14lbs

i also use Kilo's cos thats what the use in Italy, 1 kg = 2.2lbs

About my pics, they were taken by chance i usualy never get into photo's! i once went to a photographers a very famous one and he said straight out your not very photogenic I know it sound harsh but its very true. its a pity cos i've very very few pics of me and Annafrancesca oh also thanks for saying she's cute, that little angel is my reason for living! how are you??

i'm sending a big hug, hope you get it and a kiss too xx

Hello everyone. Just wanted to wish everyone on deck tomorrow good luck. I am now 2 days post op and feeling great. Still have no pain. Had an alergic reaction to something they used during surgery last night when I got home and had to go to the ER to be checked out because I had a very slight fever (99.4) and a red rash on my face and upper chest. The doctor gave me a steroid creme and sent me on my way. Called my band doctors office today to ensure this was ok to use and they told me yes. They also told me not to worry about a fever unless is gets to be 101 or 102. I have had no pains yet and the bowels started moving again yesterday so everything seems to be getting back to normal already. WHEWWWWW!!

I went to town today with DH to the store but had to take a nap :bored when I got home. The trip really tuckered me out. My stomach keeps making these really loud grumbling rumbling noises today. I have read several times on here that others have had the same thing so it must be normal.

I can't believe how good this whole thing has gone for me this far. I did gain though. I have lost 2 lbs of what I gained back today though :whoo:. They told me that was just from all the fluids they pumped into me at the hospital. I was able to get all 3 of my Boost Breeze in today so I at least got my proteins in. I am sipping on some diluted apple juice now and have had 32 oz of water so I am doing well with the fluids.

I hope everyone else is doing great. We are almost here now. Congratulations everyone!!!!!

Yes, I'm being banded in Toronto. The surgeon is Canada's founding lapband surgeon. He's pioneered it here, done more than 2000 lapbands in the last 7 years (including my best friend).

My DH is coming with me, and so far seems remarkaly calm... he's usually the worrier, not me. Of course, I;m probably worth more dead than alive! LOL. Seriously, I'm proud of his composure right now.

Ok, talking about it helps. I'm starting to calm down. I really can't wait to wake up in recovery though. Just like Sunny's tag line... "let's get this show on the road" :car:

Dini, you are just something else!!! I love your quarks and expressions!!! What a neat personality!!! You make me laugh!!! We all need that sometimes, you know!!!

Dini... sweet dreams, and thanks again for the Hugs. I'll see you on the bander's bench!!!

Dini, you are just something else!!! I love your quarks and expressions!!! What a neat personality!!! You make me laugh!!! We all need that sometimes, you know!!!
