Hi!! Is anyone getting banded in August? I'm getting banded August 1st. Maybe we can share our stories & successes and be there for each other if needed. Thanks!! Good luck to all!!

Hi Everyone....I hope you all had a great weekend. Congrats to all you that just got your dates and welcome to the August All-Stars! Be sure to stop by the August Forum and get on the master list (I think it's called August Roster) that was started so we can all keep track of who's being banded in August and when.

Vegas-thank's for posting that shopping list, I copied and pasted it in my documents. OK, sorry if this is a "blonde" question.....but, why would someone need toilet tongs????

I love the shopping list... I didnt even know where to begin when I get to work I am going to print it.... woo hoo what a relief

I am going on the 7th of August, starting the optifast tomorrow had my last big meal tonight....naughty

Count me for August too! My date is August 12th and I go for my Pre-Op tests on July 28th. I guess after 10 mo. It's really going to happen. Does anyone know about the recovery time, or what to expect?

zukagirl,

congrats on getting your date, bit annoying about your late surgery time though.

ive only been given a time to arrive, which is 7.30am which they have drummed into me, does not suggest the surgery time as that is when everyone has to arrive. everyone with this company gets an overnight stay. so am taking lots of books with me, not sure if i will have the concentration to read them. have you got things planned for the morning to keep your mind occupied?

Hello,I am getting band aug 6,2008.and I start my pre-op diet 2 days early I wanted to get use to it.:eek:

I am getting banded on August 5th! It is coming up really quick - I am excited but nervous at the same time!

keisha85-

well i am hoping that i will be pretty drugged up in the morning and will sleep through most of of the morning. but jus in case i don't i was thinking books as well, my mp3 layer, and my brother has a PSP that will let me watch movies so i might go get a movie or 2.

call them that what i had to do.

sorry my mobile phone was miss typing

I am! August 6th four days before my birthday(: Lets for sure keep in touch.

MIND SURGERY ON AUG 6 too.let keep in touch.

What it should say. Call them that what I had to do. Sorry for the miss type

Hey Cutie! I'm thinking that anybody who might need the tongs would know what to do with them. LOL! But I'm guessing that it's for after surgery...you might not be able to access certain areas for cleansing, if you know what I mean, due to pain or stitches? Anybody?

Hey there guys - Vegas, from what I've read you are absolutely right!! I'm gonna take some just to be safe - I don't want to make my DH or the nurses deal with that!! :seeya:

ps - your list was AWESOME!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!:biggrin2:

I'm being banded August 5th in Mexico. I can't wait. I'm on the PreOpt diet and my BMI is 70 and I'm trying really hard but I dont think I'm making any progress.

Hello all, I have a date of August 14th! Woohoo!!:seeya: So excited to get to know you all and hear about your experience!
