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 Azlife. We're getting band on the same day -- band sisters! How many more sis's are out there?:smile:

half2bwhole, I am getting banded August 6th too! How is your pre op diet going? I am finally starting to get used to not eating solid food. It was very difficult last night when my kids decided to make popcorn...one of my favorites and it smells so good! Other than that I'm doing ok. Good luck to you Wednesday!

Hi Azlife. We're getting band on the same day -- band sisters! How many more sis's are out there?:thumbup:

The August 2008 roster shows that there are currently 10 of you that we know about all getting done on the same day.

1 more week for me. The clock is running and I'm counting days.

I'm starting to get comfortable with the pre-op, nothing but liquids (600 calories a day) for almost a week. This is going to be a good thing. Already my blood pressure is lower and my blood sugar is lower too 80~90.

Hello, I just started my 3 day pre-op diet of all liquids. I am drinking chocolate Medifast shakes and just had a sugar free popsicle. Why yes I am still hungry...LOL

But I will live. My date is this Thursday Aug. 7th! I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Good Luck all!

Welcome seeshell! your being banded the day after me!

Wow! This is a busy week! I am also part of the August 6th sisterhood!

Let's keep in touch and help each other along.

I am getting banded tomorrow, 8/5/08. I'm starting to get very nervous. I am "Super big" at 424 lbs., and have very arthritic knees. I cannot walk long distances or stand for very long, as it is, so I'm nervous about being able to walk enough after the surgery to ward off gas, bloodclots, etc. Wish me well!:thumbup:

Good Luck Tomorrow Pinkposey. I walked around my house the first day. You will be fine.

Good Luck Pinkposey!!! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

Hi, my surgery date is Aug. 5. Just registered with LBT today for support and advice. Looks like there are a lot of August All-Stars!

Hello all, I too will be banded in a few days! On Friday the 8th. Can't wait to share my story with everybody.

I got my date today. I will be getting banded on 8/26.:wub::thumbup: Anyone else out there with this date?

Hey Sarah, So glad to hear that you are doing so well. Keep up the good work. I heard from my surgeon's office today, they uped my surgery date to August 21 from September 8. I'll keep you posted, as you do the same. Glad to hear you're doing well!

Good Luck pinkposey. Stay focused and you will be fine. Keep us posted with your success.
