Hello! I'm going to have my lapband surgery on September 17th. Yikes...it's just days away! I'm very excited but apprehensive and scared too. Would love to stay connected with you guys! Anyone from Georgia?

I am now officially September 25th. I was just moved up from October and I am freaking out! Congrats to all of you that have had your surgeries recently!

Great I wished that that would happen to me but it did not I had to wait until the first date that they gave. I even remeber calling to see if they possibly had an earlier date and they said no Funny!Anyway I'm banded now and soooo excited.Congrats!!

Hi, New here...this is my first post. I just scheduled surgery today. I am getting the band on September 30.

Woo hoo! We are band sisters! I am getting mine done on the 30th. When do you start your preop diet, if you have one?

I actually called them after I scheduled and told them to call me if they had anyone cancel. She just laughed at me and told me she would IF it happened. Thankfully (and scarily) it did!

Any ideas? Ive benn trying to walk around too but its still uncomfortable- :tt2:

Angie, please take your pain meds at least to see if that's where your pain is coming from. Don't just sit there in bad pain, I'm sure that you are suffering. I know I could not have made it the first two days without my pain meds around the clock. Goodluck and CONGRATS!!!

Remember that everyone are not super people, everyone don't bounce back the same. I am just now learning that.

You went to church and to the movies the next day. I might need to take that back you have to be one of those people who bounce back FAST.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

I'll be banded on the 30th and i am so anxious and kinda nervous and I hope that I recover very fast so I can get to my new job

Hi everyone!

I had my first follow-up apt today with the Dr. I have lost an additional 5 pounds since surgery! I am now down 24 pounds!!! Woo-Hoo:lol: He was really happy! He also pulled my steri strips off! I had to have more blood wrok done today! He also said I should stay on puree foods for another couple weeks! (I'm just happy to be on puree foods!) I found this chipotle salmon at Wal-mart - cooked it and added a little tomato soup and it was DELICIOUS! He was happy when I told him I was able to walk 2 miles now! I still get full fast! I hope this sensation last!

So anywho! I'm excited and I hope you all are doing well also!!!

Take care and Good Luck to those about to be banded!!!

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the exclusive club of September Banders. I had my done on my 40th birthday 9/9/08. What a gift!! I went to the doc today and already lost 10 pounds. I started at 314 and have a ways to go, but that first 10 felt really motivating!!
