Just got my surgery date - July 2nd! Who else is getting in July?

I'm getting banded on July 24, 08'. Yikes...I have to lose 12 LBs by then!!!

It is finally July!!! I know we July babes (and guys) are all excited.

I want to wish those getting banded today all the luck in the world, and you will be in my prayers.

I'm so excited to have found this thread. I'm super excited about finally having a date - the 16th. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I'm going crazy with anticipation. My doctor (Veninga in Carrollton, TX) has me on Optifast. Anyone else been on that? Also, have you guys started taking the daily multivitamin already? Any suggestions on which one is best?

Glad to be a part of a group and can't wait to hear all the exciting news!:thumbup:

Hey, all. Just a suggestion but maybe we should move our ongoing chat/update thread to the support group area? That way we don't have to dig through lots of posts to find this one here, and also so that we don't keep bumping this thread up to the top of this forum which is full of people NOT getting banded in July. Most other monthly groups seem to do this, and have suggested that we do the same.

To that end, I started a master thread in the support group area which you can find here:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f182/july-butterflies-master-thread-68044/

I think that it would be a lot easier to keep everything in one thread that you can pick up where you leave off (reading-wise) instead of hunting through long lists of threads.

Just a suggestion :thumbup:

My surgery is July 9th...GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Well, I'm banded!!! A little sore today but not bad. I had the upper GI prior to surgery which was clear but when he got in there I had a hernia, which he repaired. Dont know all the detail cause hubby didn't ask. Glad it over and ready to get started on new life!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE OTHERS

That is so great. Glad the surgery is behind you.

Hey, add me to your list. My surgery is July 31st in Parker, Colorado with Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum. My name is Sandy and I live in Florida. Would love to hear from anyone.
