Hi Lisa,

I see you live in Bohemia.....we're neighbors, I live in Patchogue. My surgery date is July 2nd with Dr. Geiss in Syosset. Who is your Dr.? Because I'm being banded 2 weeks before you, I'll keep you posted about what to expect. Keep in touch! Oh, and I'm a Lisa too!

Good luck to all the July bandsters! We have a good group and it will be fun to keep in touch and share our progress!

Hi Lisa,

Because of my insurance I had to pick a doctor from Good Sam so I went with Dr. Cussatti. What hospital are you going to? Do you have to do a pre-op diet? Fill me in on all your details.

Take care!

Lisa

Please add me on July 24. I will be banded by Dr. Brengman at St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond, Va.

Newby here in KCKS w/Dr. Harlan Opie, Olathe Medical Center. Received my surgery date on Friday the 13th. I am no longer superstitious! Being banded July 7, 2008.Have Tricare Prime, (husband is active duty Army). Freedom for all! Lablover....

My date is July 15th. It seems so far away!

Hi Susan,

I am getting banded on July 2 as well! It's coming fast and I'm a little nervous but excited too. Good luck to you and all of us who will be banded soon! Yipee!

Hi All:

Here's an updated list of all July banders I know to date. One of the other threads was also trying to come up with a July name and decided on 'July Butterflies.' Since it had been democratically selected and they already had a cool graphic I went ahead and stuck it in my signature forgetting it would show up immediately! :biggrin2: Lots of great suggestions, too many to try and advocate one, so I cheesed out and went with the ready made. :frown: July 2nd is definitely the most popular date. Oh the power of a four-day weekend!

July….

How do you get the ticker to post?

How about "Freedom in 08"?

There's a great tutorial on tickers at"

Have fun with it!

Hi Lisa,

I'll have my surgery at North Shore LIJ Syosset Hospital. Yes, I have to do a pre-op diet for 1 week prior (liquid diet) which I'm actually happy about because it will give me a good jump start to losing weight. How about you? From what I've read on this site, most people have to do a liquid pre-op diet. Some have to do it more than 1 week. That must be hard because we also have to do the liquid post-op. For me, post-op is 2 weeks and then move to mushie foods. Tell me about your pre and post-op procedures.

Lisa :cursing:

If anyone doesn’t know how to add a graphic to their signature I thought I’d give a quick and hopefully somewhat correct tutorial one what I did through trial and error.

I did a right click on "copy" on the graphic from someone else post. (No idea how I sized it smaller - I didn't think any of those were taking. So you can right click mine if you want a smaller graphic or go back a page and copy one of the larger ones.)

Then go up to "Edit Profile" on the upper right list of personal links at the top of the page. On the new page click on "Edit Signature" (or something like that) on the left side of the page.

When your signature opens go to the edit box and do a right click and a "paste" to put your graphic in the signature area. You can test it until it comes up the way you want it and add other info you think is important. If you want to add a ticker (and I love tickers - let's me know where people stand on the weight loss and other info) go to:
