Yeah, I got my surgery date! I will be banded on June 10th by Dr. Jawad in Ocala.........preop on June 5th. Is anyone else getting banded in June?

I am so ready!!!!!

What kind of protein drink did you go for?

My band date is June 11 in Louisville, KY

I hope this goes right. This is my first post. I will be banded on Friday June 13th. Scary, I know. I'm not too superstitious though. I think everything will be fine. I'm starting to get really nervous. I've had enough time to be excited, now it's just the nerves, lol. Anyway, if anyone has any advice on how to relax a little it would certainly be appreciated. :drool:

I am being banded on the 10th and I am like you starting to get a little more nervous as the date gets closer but one thing I do to relax and calm myself is come to this site and read and read and read. I also have been praying and thinking positive thoughts. You will do great. I think it is normal to be nervous.

I'm scheduled for June 4th too! I've lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet.

hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm scheduled to be banded on June 12th. I feel like everything has gone so fast since my consultation on may 5th, but I couldn't be more excited and I feel so motivated! I have my pre-op appointment this thursday so I'm a bit nervous, especially about the anesthesia, but hopefully it will go well :-D

Best of luck to all of my fellow jazzy junes!

Hi Bella,

I know what you mean, I went to my seminar 4/26, my consult appt on 5/14 and surgery will be Thurs 6/4. During the process it seemed long and tedious but now that it's here it was like Wow! I can't believe it's here already!

I am really getting anxious about my band date. At first I could barely control my excitement. Now I'm going thru tons of different emotions. Everything from excitement, anger (because I have to wait!), sick of being fat and disgusted with myself, to not wanting to go out of the house until this is all over with. I keep telling myself to hang on, just 2 more weeks and I'll have my chance to be a new me. But it seems like it's never going to get here.

I don't guess it helps that my doctor is in the process of adjusting my hormones. That is a roller coaster ride in itself. And my son just graduated from high school and is moving out on Friday, June 6th. I guess it's just a lot going on. I hope I don't have too much resting on the surgery being the "fix all". Does that make any sense?

Thanks for listening!!

I have to start my pre op diet on the 5th of june, 2 litres of soya milk a day and 400mls of fruit juice not looking forward to it! :thumbup:

Still its all weight loss! Getting band done on the 12th whoop!

ME ME ME!!! I just got my date today, June 30th. I barely slid into June by the seat of my pants!

What kind of protein drink did you go for?

I got GNC Pro Performance Whey Isolate 28, chocolate flavor.

I had it this morning. Not all that I had hoped for. I am going to use my magic bullet to blend it with ice next time. I wish they would have had sample packets. I spent $40 on stuff I am not enjoying all that much.

I went to Super Supplements & should have gotten some small sample size packets, but didn't because they are 45 minutes away from me & I had to have something to start with today. However I do have another appt tomorrow & I will stop by there & get some samples. I figure I will be at my Dr. office about once a month or so...... Super Supliments is just down the street from it.

I decided to also finish off the SlimFast low carb drinks I have in my fridge. That should get me through the 2 weeks if I have one I enjoy a day & 2 or 3 of the other stuff.

Wow, you do have a lot going on. I am also on the 17th. I am just plain excited. I started my clear liquid diet today. I am not totally thrilled about it, but it is very much worth it!!! I plan to succeed big time!

You can do it!! I heard that if you take up some hobby or something it helps to keep your mind off all the other stuff & the hunger. I have a lot of painting to do here in my home, so room by room I go.

Let me know how you are doing. I am rooting for you!!!!

I'm June 10th YAHOOO!.

I am getting banded by Dr. Marsden on June 9th in Decatur TX. I'm on Day 2 of the pre-op diet.

Right On, I'm on day 3 o liquid.

Why do you have to loose 5 lbs. before your surgery date? I don't understand. I am fortunate to have a BMI of 43 and some times a bit lower so I am not required by Dr. Kuri to do the LSD (liver shrinking diet) although something in my mind says maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to do it anyway. I am 5'5 and weigh 260 at present with surgery date of June 17th. Kerry
