After three months of Optifast my surgery date will be Aug. 6. Now I can starting getting nervous. I am ready to join the banded though.

Congrats on your date. You must be very excited!!

That's great news, congratulations!

Good for you! I'm glad you made it!

Its human nature to be nervous bigharleyguy......I was a bit nervous but so looking forward to being banded....I was banded June 8th 2006 and have reached goal now.....I would do this again in a heartbeat, outside of marrying my Al this is certainly the best thing that I have ever done!

Good luck to you and congrats on your date! I also hope to get my surgery in August.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement I'll let you all know how it goes. I am a little concerned about the post-op recovery diet, seems pretty extreme, but I know it has to be done. I have been doing well on Optifast for the last month and a half, so I know I can do it.

Congrats...my date is Aug 8!

Congrats on your dates BigHarleyGuy and 2bthinagn ! My birthday is 8/04 and I'm hoping for an August date also. Keeping my fingers crossed all goes well for all of us August people.

I am unsure what your doctor requires as post-op diet but it seems you could continue the Optifast as your liquid food.

Good Luck!
