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!!!!!

Hi All,

I was so happy to find this web site and all of you June Bandsters. My surgery is June 11th with the Pre-Op on June 5th. My 10 year old daughter will be away at camp the week of the surgery so she won't have to know and worry. Only my parents and two friend know about this. Is any one else keeping it kind of secret? I am so excited and yet sometimes so embarrassed. It's like I have to face the reality of my size even though I am acutely aware of it every minute of every day. I'm getting so nervous, but I keep thinking that in a year from now I will have my life back. Good luck to all of you!!!!:thumbup:

Congrats Kathy!!!!

Aloha,

I received my approval letter, and have a set date for June 10th. I will be banded in San Fransisco under the care of Dr. Cirangle. He is awesome. He has answered all of my questions and has made me feel at ease about this procedure and that I am making the best decision of my life! I am a bit nervous about going through with this, I guess it is just nerves, but i am very excited that it is happening. I can't wait to get my life back, my health better.:thumbup:

Hey gals & guys! CONGRATULATIONS to all on your surgery dates!! WOOHOO!! My surgery is scheduled for June 4th! I start my pre-op diet on May 21. I am from Missouri, and am traveling to Colorado for the surgery. I can not wait to get this journey started!!!

It will be fun to keep chatting with you as we go through this so close to the same time. I'm the 17th. Kerry

Hi,

Getting banded June 4th and I am ecstatic... can't wait, would go tomorrow if they would take me :thumbup:

Got my date ...June 2nd :thumbup::biggrin2:

YEA! The more "JUNIES" the better!

I keep hearing about the pre-op diet. What does that consist of?

I have not had my surgery date yet, not until June 17,08. It depends on where you are having your surgery done. I am going to Mexico because my insurance won't pay and it is more than half of the expence. My Dr. requires that if you have a body Max index number of 45 or above, you need to go on a "Liver Shrinking Diet". In the USA I think they are more strict with pre opt diets. The liver shrinking diet is High protein and low carbs,

Hey all you June bugs! Come take a look at the Jazzy Junes line up. I have tried to put most of your dates in it. If I missed anyone just copy and paste and update. Good luck and congrats to you all!

My Band date is June 9th in TJ Mexico!!!

I will be having surgery on June 2nd

I am new to this forum and website...but I am also being banded on June 25th. I will be at VCU in Richmond, VA with Dr. Maher. I have been through the initial consult, psych eval, pre-surgery weightloss (21 pounds) and got my surgery date this Thursday. I am going in for pre-op on the 17th and surgery on the 25th...I am excited and ready for a new phase!
