Hi Lisa,

My surgery is scheduled for the 12th of September and I am on day 3 of a 3 week pre-op diet. I am going to the Sept. banders site now. Good luck!!!

Yes!! September 10th is my date!!! With Dr. Kelly Francis of Fountain Valley Regional Hospital in California. I just did my pre-op yesterday and start my liquids next Weds. Yeah!! Am I a Samurai as well?

I see my anesthesiologist next week... but my surgery isn't until September 16th.

I'm teri. I'm a single mom of three great boys. I've had numerous tests and surgeries. This is the first for me. :angry: Not a necessarity. I hope to need plastics in a year or two. :sad:

Hi,

Just got back from all my appointments in one day!! I have my surgery date of September 2nd and I don't even have to do any type of pre op liquid diet :angry: He just said to try and lose a few pounds before so excited about that. Go in for my pre op appointment Monday and then I am ready to go! Can't wait to get things started. Just hope the weight comes off as easy as it was to go thru the appointments...lol. Will be looking forward to being able to share the first month with you. Theresa WA

Just found out yesterday that I am a September 4th bander. My surgeon does the lap band on Thursdays, the patient stays overnight, they do a swallow test on Friday and then they go home.
