I can't wait!!! :biggrin2: It's almost like counting down to when I had my c-section for my twins! I knew a whole new life was coming and I was so excited. And like my kids, I know this is going to be worth anything I have to deal with for it. I am going to start crossing the days off on the calendar!

Anyone else with a June 9th date? How are you feeling? Are you having to do anything before hand? Is there a special date section where we're able to keep each other motivated?

You will do great! You are absolutely right to see this as starting a new life. Be excited, and stay that way! I was banded on 4/19/08 and did a 7 day pre-diet of 40 - 50 carbs a day, protein drinks / liquids and from that week through today have lost 24 lbs. I am happy I did this and would do it again in a heartbeat! Best of luck, follow the rules and you will do great. By the way, who is doing your surgery?

Thank you!!! Dr. John Daly is doing my surgery. I met with him again last week and feel so comfortable with him. There were a ton of people in his waiting room (not happy having to wait) but they all said he was a great dr. and I was in good hands. Always good to get 1st hand opinions!

I am north of ATL too and am having my banding done in Birmingham on June 6th!

I am in Valdosta, GA and getting banded on June 9 too. Good luck to everyone! I have been doing sugar busters for the past few weeks... but have only lost a few pounds.

Only 12 days until surgery!

I am scheduled for June 10 and start a mostly liquid diet on June 3. i wish you great success.

Hey everyone, best wishes on your upcoming surgeries! I will also be banded on the 9th. My pre-op diet is anything as long as its: <30 carbs; <10 grams of fat; and at least 70 grams of Protein per day. Im excited and open to any words of advice.

Take Care!

Hello Everyone,

Dr. Daly is the one that performed the lap-band one me and he is an excellent doctor! I'm glad that I chose Dr. Daly because he's a lot more personable. Dr. Daly was the first doctor in the State of GA to perform the lap-band surgery with one incision. I'm so happy with my results. And as far as the waiting time, yes it can become annoying, but its definitely worth the wait to see Dr. Daly.
