Anyone else out there getting banded around that same time??

I have all but one clearance.. go for pre-op on 3/6 and find out my surgery time. Trying to keep to a one regular meal a day diet and 2 meals of protien drink. Seems easy now, but my Dr requires 4 weeks of liquid diet after surgery, then 2 weeks pureed and 2 weeks soft, before going to any "solid" food...ugh

my surgeon is Dr. Gail Wynn

in Newark, DE

This is a great bunch of March 2008 band date folks and if you want to come on over to the thread for March 2008 bandsters, there is a group of everyone starting the journey about the same time together.

The thread is under Monthly Support Groups - 2008 and then March 2008.

Hi, I'm getting banded on March 23 in Miami. Hope all goes well fro you.

Good luck to all March Banders. I had my surgery on Nov.14 th and I have lost 45 pounds and 38 inches. I was wearing a size 22 before and now wear a 16 and it feels great. I was on a slim fast diet for my 2 weeks but I drank chicken broth and had jello. If you can make it through the liquid diet the lap band is a breeze. Good luck to all of you.

March 20th here. I started my 2 wk pre-op on the 6th. Each day is a little easier.

Good luck to everyone. See you on the loser's bench!

Good luck with your band. My surgery is on the 19th of March at 7:30 a.m. as well.

I am being banded in Monterrey Mexico on 4/7/2008. I am a diabetic Type 2 taking insulin. Has anyone out there been in my place and is now off the insulin?

Anyone out there from Lawrenceville, Georgia?

Being banded on March 14. Doing pre-op but mine isn't just liquid, so it is fine. What is the magic bullet ya'll were talking about?

Hi Lonestar:

It is a small blender. There are infomercials on tv for it. They usually are mixing the cool drinks, but they will blend all kinds of stuff. I think you can get them in walmart or department stores like it.

Thanks for the info.

Hi, we are getting banded the same day. I can't wait! Good luck and keep in touch.

Thanks you too I'm very nervious, but I'm sure I will be fine
