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!!

Hello All... This is my first night on this website and I've enjoyed reading all the posts that sound just like what I'm thinking. I have my surgery on Aug 8th...pre-op appt is tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.

I just got my approval today! My surgery is scheduled for August 27! I am so excited! :cool2:

Hi,

I'm getting banded on August 11th. I would love to share stories and get support.

Hi everyone! I am almost to afraid to say it for fear I will jinx it but I got my date today and it is August 15!!! Start my preop liquids on Friday. I cant believe it! I waited so long for my insurance approval and now it is moving quickly! Good luck to everyone and I will look forward to hearing how you are all doing!

I'm really struggling with what to have for breakfast on my ore-op diet. Low carb and low fat yet Able to be made in work with only a kettle and microwave. Any ideas anyone? 5 days to go!!!

hi lellow, so glad yours went well, did you have an incision very high up? as this is the one that is bruised. my port site is not hurting at all and i only had gas pains for aout half an hour 2 nights ago (in my stomach) the shoulder ones lasted about 2 days on and off. when did you weigh yourself? my next job after posting this is to update my ticker. do you feel virtually normal now, or not quite?

ps good luck everyone tommorrow

Hi all. I'm new here. My surgery is scheduled for 8/14, my last pre-op appointment is tomorrow 8/4. I am so excited and nervous as the same time. Good luck to all :cool2:

:seeya:Well tomorrow is the big day yes aug 6 is my surgery day. I am so happy just can't wait.i had a great pro-op diet and it went very well.so wish me luck everybody.:thumbup::thumbup::cool2::thumbup:

I am getting banded Aug 22nd. Can't wait. Doing out patient so hope I will post my experience soon.

Has anyone had any trouble going up and down stairs after their surgery, that is one of biggest concerns. I just want to be prepared.

Yesterday I went to the hospital and pre-registered. It is real - the time is close. I had blood work EKG, Chest X-ray. Talk to my doctor and he said I was going to do great. I sure do have some wierd thoughts right now like regret or "what am I doing"!! but I will stay the course. My doctor put me on a 800 calorie diet high in protein. With a big enphasis on sticking to protein shakes. I did eat some fish, and pudding but back to the protein shakes today. 5 more days. I have lost some weight but can't seem to change the ticker. This site has gotten quiet. I can tell the surgeries are starting. Hope all is doing well and can't wait to hear more from anyone who is just banded and how they feel and the experience they went through at the hospital. In detail would be great. Might make me quit worrying. :thumbup:

Hi I'm getting banded on Aug 14. I'm nervous how about you? kathy

Oh yeah, I'm nervous.

Right after the pre-op visit and into the first weekend of the pre-op diet I worried if I had made a good choice. Now 6 days away from surgery, I know this is what I need to do, the worry is gone and now just excitement.
