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!!

I'm having my surgery on August 6th also :wink2:

Where will your surgery be? Mine will be in Asheville, NC.

I had my pre-op appointment today. All of my blood work is good and I am full speed ahead. Talking to everyone involved and doing my pre-registration at the hospital really made it seem REAL! I'm a tad more nervous and WAY more excited! 8 more days till I'm a Band member!!! I've lost 9 pound on the pre-op diet and the doc was very happy about that. I still have time to shed a few more. Woo Hoo! I'm ready to rock and roll!

Surgery4me great job. I am so looking forward to my date of the 7th. good luck.

I got a call from the surgeon's office this afternoon and they asked me to sign a permission slip so they can film the surgery and take photos of it for possible internet posting for the hospital. Hey I said sure. As long as you can't really recognize me LOL.

Anything to help others understand the surgery.

I'm getting my band Aug 7.

Hey guys have to take me off the roster as I got moved into July... Surgery date 07/31/08 at 10.30

hope you all the luck. my surgery was also moved up from aug 28 to the 21st, got my little cleansing stuff today she said to put in fresca and the one and only time for me to use a straw cause she said it was disgusting stuff to take and i would want to get it down as fast as possible and not to leave the house.:ohmy:

If I can do 14 days, you can do 5!

they changed my surgery date from the 28th to the 21st and i just so excited.

jenbug - i did that chart and i would save $400 a month on food and weight watchers, so its mponey well spent.

Woohooo but then when I get to a weight I dont have clothes to cover

this money will be on shopping sprees!!

Hey Lamvmomo that is the same date as me 28 days to go!!

Good luck edel and Jill! See you both on the other side!

39 hours to go until my op! But I'm hanging around here for the next 24 hours at least. So keisha and all the other Aug 1st people, we can pace the floors together until it's time!

I completed my "Tour De Food" and started the pre-op diet. This thread has been very helpful and I wanted to jump in and tell everyone thank you for sharing this time in our lives. It's comforting to know there are others with the same thoughts, worries and excitement. Everything is on track, I’m ready for August 11.
