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!!!!!

I will be banded on June 24th :thumbup: I have been eating everything:tt1: Anything that I have a craving for I eat it. I have been enjoying Buffets all week. Just trying to get my last enjoyment of food it

I was banded on Monday and I'm at work today (light duty)

I am doing good today but it felt like Mike Tyson gave me a punch to the body on Tuesday. I'm on clear liquids and I have not had any problems getting any liquids down. Anyway all is well here so far.......

:biggrin2:Hi Junsters...well I am here in ElPaso in my room waiting for our ride into Juarez and I am suddenly feeling very ill....nerves.....anxious...excited....and scared out of my witts..... This is now or never and now turning back now. In a matter of a few hours I am hopeful to be banded and recooperating. Please pray for me and my courage....and that Dr. Rod got plenty of sleep lastnight and didn't skip his caffeeine........I can't believe that I am actually doing this. I have put it out of my mind and then it has hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. I didn't sleep good and when I did sleep I kept waking up. My stomach is upset and well I haven't been very nice to my hubby this morning....guess this is all part of it. Catch you on the flip side....I get to go from pre op to post op boards now.

Kelly - Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and wishing you good thoughts!!! Keep us posted when you can...can't wait to hear your update!! I'll be where you are on the 30th of this month and my nerves are already keeping me up at night!!! Best of luck to you ~ Tai

Thank you Tai....

Good thoughts to you today jkpenny!

Congrats Jbrod

Great news for the new june bugs!

Kristi,

I never heard of the lose 5% thing. Good luck!! Different dr. must require different things. However, you should do fine. I had my consultation with my surgeon on May 14, and had my pre op visit yesterday, surgery today, and I am down 12 lbs. since then. I've been on clear liquids for 48 hours that helped some. LOL

Jimmy, I was banded Monday also. I know just how you feel! lol I have been carrying my belly around with me like I was 9 months preggers! lol I went in to work yesterday for a meeting I couldn't get out of. Stayed 3 hrs and was pretty wiped out. Today I go in for a half day, then tomorrow all day. (at least it will be friday so I can rest for the weekend.) I feel much better today. I just did a bit of weights...upper body, 3# wts (hey I gotta start somewhere...) and I feel good right now. I lost 3 lbs this morning (total of 20 since I started this journey back in October). Every day gets easier. I know we will have bumps in the road but I believe there will be more positive than negative things. Keep posting to let us know how you are doing.:confused:

I'm taking two days off after my day the 10th so it sounds like I will be ok.

Yes, I will be band June 25. Good luck to you and let me

know how you did. Was you sick? Did you have to stay over night

in the hospital? I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking for a new way of life, thing I can't do now at 200 I Have diabetes, take 2 shots aday hoping this will help , will be thinking about you on the 10th . thanks Mackie============================================================================================================================

I will be banded on June 13th. I can't wait!!! I'm full of anxiety and excitement now, but I will be nervous when the time comes. This will be my first time under anesthetic.

Surgery is the easy part for me. Its the life change. THe food I ate at random with no thought. My anxiety is no more triple burgers loaded with extra lg fries etc. The band will make me behave no eating for taste yeah!:confused: It will be a great TOOL

Is anybody out there who is a June Bandster, going to have surgery by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana, Mexico?

I am sooooo excited! I can't wait, but I have to lose 10 more pounds or he won't do the surgery. I know I can do it, but it is sooooo hard!! Especially this week, my hubby has been out of state for the last week and I have the kids all by myself!!! :wink2: When I stress, I eat. But not this week! It has been the biggest struggle of my life, but it will so be worth it!!! Anyone else having any trouble shedding that 5% before surgery, and how did you do it?

Kristi

I also had to lose 5% of my weight. I had six months to do it and did it in 5. It wasn't easy. My doctor didn't give me any kind of specific diet to follow so I just did a slimfast for breakfast and lunch and then a lite dinner most days. I did fall of the wagon sometimes but overall I kept to the same routine. Good Luck!

HI ALL!!!! I'm in the hospital hotel awaiting my banding tomorrow morning!!! My boyfreind is here with me and we both have upset stomachs....I think it's nerves. I was on high protein diet last week and this week liquids. Today was supposed to be clear liquids and I thought I was doing great until I realized that a latte isn't really a clear liquid...so I screwed up....TWICE today. I hope that isn't why my stomach is upset. And I hope this goes away by 5am. I have to check in at 5am and surgery is scheduled for 7am. SO nervous!!!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!
