Hi, just thought I would start a thread for being a sept bandster. I received my approval today and my surgery date is sept.5th. Anxious to see who else is out there...

Hello All Bandsters ,

I am getting banded Sept 25th in Tijuana MX with Dr Gonzalez ! I am soo excited but kind of worried at the same time -- I'm worried that I wont be able to keep with the diets == And I'm worried what my body is going to look like when I do lose the weight !!

Stacy73 I am also getting banded on sept. 5th. I cant wait!!! I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and boy is it a struggle. I cheated a little bit last night but i felt so guilty that i am back on track for the next 9 days. How are you feeling? Do you have to do the pre-op diet too?

Congrats! I am excited as well, I know it will be a good thing! I am also worried as well about having to have "reconstructive surgery" after I lose all the weight, :nervous It started stressing me so I just have to realize that if I have to do something later than I'll have to, but anything is better than being overweight! At least you can hide stretched out skin! Good luck!~

Hi All,

I’ve been checking in on you regularly, but haven’t posted for fear of jinxing myself. I’ve been working on getting a September date. I’m almost through all of the hoops. My doctor’s office is also working to make it happen by the end of September. Hopefully this time next month, I’ll be banded.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you.

I'm getting banded next Tuesday 9/4/07!!:clap2:

Hello everyone! I too am scheduled for September. 9/11 to be exact, my husbands little worried about the date... I guess it'll be ok.

I just got my date today and I am super excited!!! I will enter band camp on September 21st. As for my preop Its a 2 week liquid diet which I am really nervous about. Well I wish you all well and I will pray for you all!!!

Congrats on your dates everyone! I hope you make it in the group Kellymovingon! Good luck and keep us posted!

I just got my insurance approval today! I am hoping to be banded in September, but it may be October - we will see. Just wanted to 'celebrate' by telling someone!

I just got my surgery date, Sept. 13th!! I am excited and scared. I am happy to be an official September Bandster.

I am 9 days into the liquid diet and my surgery is Tuesday the 4th. I am doing welll, after the first 3 days it gets easier. You can only eat so many no sugar added popsicles. I had my post op today with the doctor, fast no problems. Then went to register at the hospital & that tooks a couple hours, drawing blood, had an EKG & a chest x-ray. I have to be there 7:30 tuesday morning & will be banded at 9:30 AM.

I will let you know how things went on wednesday. Anyone out there 3 or 4 days out of being banded, let me know what to expect.

Thanks
