Well, I guess it is time to get a list going! Please post your online name and your surgery date here so we can find Banding Buddies! You know, someone to commiserate with during days of Bandster Hell, and someone to share Non Scale Victories (NSV) with - like tying your shoes without having the laces crooked. Maybe one day, we can even have a mass "granny pantie" burning!

Hello September Bandsters!!! I am getting banded on the 27th. Thought the day would never arrive, and here it is. And I am so ready! Thanks to everyone that has posted all the helpful information on this forum!! Good luck to everyone.

Mary:whoo:

Well, I don't have any Grannie Panties to burn, but my band date is 9/27.

I was Banded on 9/7/07!!

Weee... Down 32lbs.

May I ask - what diet are you following? I was banded on 9/5/07 and I'm only down 12 since the surgery. I've been following the mushies stage, and exercising.

Don't get me wrong - I'm crazy about the 12 pounds gone, but I get anxious when I see others dropping so quickly. Am I doing something wrong?

My fill is Oct. 12.

Hi Mary and Kagoscuba-Good luck to you both. My band date is the 27th too!!!

Debi, I am so excited. I was gonna call you or e-mail but I lost both of them! How are you feeling about flying? Keep me posted. You will be in my thoughts too.

Cleone

*Longs for the day the granny panties go up in flames!*

We'll be there before you know!! I was banded on 9-11-07.

Wow - everyone is doing so great, it is nice to hear how everyone is doing!

Good luck to tomorrow's two bandsters - Coug89 and luv2laugh! We will see you on the banded side! We look forward to it too!

My sugery date is Friday 9/28 at 8am. I am so excited to begin this journey. Thank you to everyone who contributes on this web site. You have so much wisdom and I have picked up an amazing amount of information from all of you.

Suzannajoy - I hope that your day goes well. I am sure it will. There is tons of info on this site! Best one I have found yet! Good luck to you and I will look forward to hearing from you again!

Good luck to tomorrow's bandsters! Lapitup, marywalker20, mandi78, claramae, caressarn and kagoscuba! Please log on as soon as you can! We look forward to hearing from you all!

I'm here! Doing good. Some pain at port site, especially when moving, coughing, etc. My mouth and throat feel dry as a bone no matter how much I sip. Typical stuff. The gas hasn't been bad. I can't really get comfortable to sleep though. Did you all have that problem?

Did any of you have broth the day of surgery? The doc said I could but I'm kinda scared to. I have had lots of water and ice today and a small bit of watered down powerade. My stomach is rumbling and I can't tell if its hunger or just irritation. Feelis kinda like hunger but I've never read of anyone being hungry on the day of their surgery.

Well, good luck to all those tomorrow!
