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 just found out today that I'll have my surgery June 12th!!! I'm so excited!!!

Just got my date June 5th

I'm just not very computer literate, but I'm trying!:thumbup: I am anxious to chat with any Jazzy Junies that are getting banded on June 17th by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana, Mexico. Also, any June Bugs who may be lurking out there! Kerry :cursing:

I am also joining the June Bandsters. My surgery is the same as yours, Susanm, June 12, in Cincinnati. I mirror everyone's sentiments; I am scared, nervous, EXCITED! While I know my focus should be on preparing for this huge change and becoming healthier, I am still wondering "how much and how fast?" I have seen some people lose tremendous amounts of weight in the first few months and others toil on for longer. I am afraid of failing as I have in the past with other diets and am trying to gear for a steady, but slow, weight loss to keep from being discouraged if I am one of those whose weight sticks with me. When I am thinking with my brain, I know there are so many variables that determine the amount and quickness. Either way, I am in this for the lifetime. I want to spend the rest of my life enjoying good health and looking better in pictures than I ever have.

Everyone!

Come join the Jazzy Junes in the June 2008 thread.

Just go to the Support thread and find 2008 and you will find a thread for June 2008. There are lots of topics there to read and lots of support.

Kerry there is a thread just for your questions on Mexico!

Hello..I'm getting banded on June 12 in Mississauga Ontario. I'm nervous but can't wait.

Hi, I went for my first visit with the surgeon last week. I have to see a heart doctor because I have a 40% blockage in one heart artery.... discovered last year. Then I have an EGD on June 3rd. I expect my surgery date to be set for the 3rd or last week of June. Good Luck to you. I'm excited yet a little anxious. Let me know how it goes.

I am going to be banded on June 23rd in Coos Bay.. Yeah! I cannot wait. It has been a long wait and saving my money. Wish me luck and pray for a healthy surgery. I am a self pay!

Congrats! Getting Banded June 12th. Looking forward to it. Just did the preliminary blood tests and urine sample today.

Hello everyone:

I am getting banded on June 6 :lol:and have been reading and posting on this site since February! I am so excited and feel much better prepared for surgery after reading about so many experiences!

Good luck to you all! Keep reading and posting. It is the sucess of the people who have been banded that keeps me focused on the positive.

I have started my 2 week pre-op diet, which is just low carb, 80-120 gr of carb. I have lost 7 lbs since Friday! That is more than I could loose in a month before. I think it is because I KNOW :thumbup:that this time I am going to be able to keep it off!

There is a thread for June 2008 bansters in the Support Group section under 2008! Check it out. I have a thread for the June Line up. I try to put you on this list as soon as I see a new Junie!

Hope to hear more from you in the future! As there is less of you!:biggrin2:

Kelly, I am June 2 also. Many years ago I celebrated my wedding anniversary on that date. Been divorced about 20 years now so now I will have a new life (mine!!!) to celebrate on our day. I only (only....geez) have do do 10 days of liquid diet. Its 2 protein shakes plus very little else except SF popsicles or jello. But, as much as I hate it, the lbs are dropping off so thats a good thing! Welcome and keep posting. It really encourages me to read of others going thru this, especially those who are going to be banded the same day as I am. We can do this!!
