Hi Everyone!!

Good luck to everyone that has already been banded!!!

I am getting banded Sept 10th and would like to have any other sept banders to jump aboard and let support each other like never before!!!:clap2::whoo:

How are you doing girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi!

My surgery date is Sept. 18. I Just found out I have gall stones. Now they are telling me that I have to have my galbladder out first. :omg: So now my surgery may be pushed back. I've never had surgery before, so I was already scared about the lap-band surgery... And now they are telling me I'll have to have two surgeries! :thinkI'm still doing my pre-op liquid diet just in case.

I have 200lbs to lose. yikes!

Being banded tomorrow!!! Life begins then!

HI

I also have gall stones and they will be taking my gall blatter out the same time they put the band in! Two for the price of one!ha

My surgery is a week from friday and I am very excited about it but also a little nervous. When do you think you can now have the band, check and see if your dr can do them at the same time!! Let me know

Itstime!!

Due to be banded tomorrow. Alittle nervous and excited at the same time.

Good Luck! I am sure you will do just fine.

Barb, good luck!! You will do great!!!

i'm on for the 9-11 to good luck

9/25 for me! I am scared and excited about it. I can't wait to begin my new life! Last week, the day I scheduled my surgery, my Mom was told she had to have a stint placed in her heart. They did angioplasty and placed the stint the next day. That made me even more confident that I am making the right decision to be banded!

Good luck to everyone!

hi Itstime,

The first thing I asked was if I could have my galbadder out when they put the lap-band in. My doctor says that he can't because the galbadder is full of bile, and if that leaks out during the surgery the lapband could get contaminated. I guess each doctor feels differently. But I think you might want to ask your doctor about it. I See my doctor tomorrow to find out some definite dates for both of the surgeries. I hope that they are at leat a week in between. This galbadder issue has been a huge worry for me. I am so scared of surgery. I have had a lot of pain in my gut over the past year. I just thought it was a bad flu.:sick Hope to hear how eveything goes for you.

How are you doing?????

How are you making out???

I was banded sept 28. I'm really looking forward to the results. I wish it was a year from today now.I know this is going to be dificult but I'm determined to succeed.

HI Lynn

Are you being banded on the 28th?

I am due to be banded September 28th in Dallas. I am so looking forward to feeling well again. I have Diabetes and I am hoping to have lots of energy again. Are any of you feeling better now that you have lost some weight?
