I am so excited!!! My surgery is set for May 22nd. Anyone else in May?

May seems to be a very popular month! Do you think the surgery is gaining approval or more people are hearing about it? I was at the hospital getting my Pre-Op done and there was a story on CNN on the tv in the waiting room about the lap band. I wanted to scream- "hey, that is what I am here for", but I stopped myself!

I am scheduled for May 9th. I'm both excited and scared!

I get banded on May 6th! I'm VERY excited!

At what point do you have to go on a liquid diet before surgery? Mine is just the day before.

I'm scheduled for May 14th in Houston with Dr. Spiegel. My pre-op appt is tomorrow. I wish us all good luck, good health, and good looks!

Hi, I'm May 7 and I'm on the 2 week liquid preop. Everyone said your not hungry after day 3. They are wrong, but I'm getting through. As it gets close I'm getting a little nervous.

I will get my band on May 13. I start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I've been lurking for the past month or so, just reading everything I can.

I'm also scared, excited, nervous all wrapped up into my 5 ft tall size..

M A Y F I F T H!!!!! right around the corner.

Hi

I have my PreOp lab work done on the 4th and surgery the next day. I have one concern--"I don't want to fail in losing weight one more time." I feel like this LB Forum will be such a help. I wasn't put on any diet pre surgery by my Dr. My Insur. has a Nurse you can call and she gives advice to Bariatric patients. She told me to cut down on portion size and drink lots of liquids.

Oh, and I got a Happy Birthday Wish Today from The Forum--Thank You dicev

I'm scheduled for April 30th, but not feeling well... Will probably have to wait a while now

:eek:Oh, I am sooooo sorry...is it a cold? Good luck...call the doc ASAP!:confused2:

I was supposed to be banded on 4/30- but my new date is 5/20...

I got sicky poo and have to wait...

HI and Congrats to everyone on their banding dates. I am getting my band May 20. YEah:thumbup: It seems I've been waiting for this day forever. I'm excited about my band but a little apperhensive about this 2 week liquid pre diet.

I'm right here with ya, I go in at 9:00 am in Louisville, Ky on the 5th. I plan on having my last hooplaw on Saturday. It is Derby time here, so I am going to enjoy myself, hope to win a little money and then get my mind ready for Monday. Good luck on your surgery too!

welcome to May the 5th... There are at least three of us on here going in on that day. Good luck and let's get ready to be healthier..

I am also scheduled for El Cinco de Mayo. My pre-op is the 30th and the nervous excitement is already kicking in. I hope we all keep up with each other's progress and encourage when needed.
