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...

VIKKI

goof information. Now I understand what will be going on much more.thanks

NM Sunshine - use the code - cut and paste it and put it in your signature area. Some people have to do it more than once for it to stick. Good luck, hope that helps!

Vikki - thanks so much for your advice!

PoolLVR thnaks loads. Lets see if I can get it to stick

I went to signature under my profile and everything I do I come up with 'invalid'

I know computers well. This is about totaly frustrating. I put my code on an empty web page and it, the image, came right up.

I'm reading the FAQ 's which I should have done when i first joined.

I just went to the doctor today to weigh in (I had to go on a liquids only diet because I had gained weight between consults) and found out I lost 11 pounds since last Wednesday! I just need to lose between 4 and 9 pounds before September 17. Let's hope I can do it. On a side note, I'd give anything for a tomato right now. Is that really called cheating?

Katmeg99 - You can do this! An 11 lbs weightloss already is a huge success in itself on a liquid diet.

You are scheduled for the same date as me 9/18/07.:whoo:

You can be my band twin. lol I'll be there for you for motivation and support. I start my pre-op diet on Saturday and I will definately be needing all the help I can get. :cheer2::banana

KatMeg perhaps if you skin the tomatoe and put it thru the blender.

Awww, still no luck with your ticker? Wonder why it's not working? Good luuck!

Good luck September 7th bandsters: butterfly17, ghostbuster, Natie716, Allisarin, mdicurn, mermaidpuppy, cin, tpagern, thebrick!!! I hope that you all heal quick and have no gas pains!!!

Poohlrv I think it is this new windows Vista and all the internet security stuff it has. I need to figure out (among a hundred choices) what in my browser, Vista or Norton is keeping me from displaying the URL. Anyone else have the New Vista?

OH my Gosh I think I fixed it......YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

:gluck:

I get my band on Sept 25th!!! Hurray I'm a September Bandster!

i had my band yesterday and am home now since an hr ago.

i feel great. just tired. i haven't had any pain yet... which surprised me.

the surgeon told me that everything went reallly well no problems

and today i had the leak test and got to see the band. it was cool watching the liquid barium go down and follow the trail. he said perfect!

so i go back to him next week. i'm on a full liquid diet for one more week next week i'll get soft foods.

The nurses were wonderful. i was the only patient last night and the 3 of them liked that.

Congrats on your beautiful ticker NM Sunshine! It looks great!

Loserwannab - I am so glad that you are doing so well! And with no pain, i dream of a surgery and post-op just like yours!
