Hi Keleeka, I also am getting my surgery September 8

Hi there, We have the same date--September 8th. Dr. Blumofe in Wisconsin. My name is Molly.

September 11th here!!

I'm being banded by Dr Benavides in Richardson, Texas.

I start my pre-op diet on Thursday!!

Hi Everyone,

I am being banded 9/23 by Dr. Newlin in Altoona, PA. They wanted it to be 9/9 but one of my best friends is getting married 9/13 and I was afraid I would miss the wedding.

I have my date 9/9 but still waiting for the insurance approval. Cross your fingers everyone

Today I went to my nutrition meeting! They covered what to eat, when to eat, how to eat etc... They also covered on what to expect with the surgery!

I was surprised to find out they really don't have a pre-op diet so to speak, but the Dr. would like you to lose about 10 pounds. I want to make sure everything is ok so I opted to do a cross between powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Optifast for Breakfast and lunch and then a healthy choice for dinner!

I also went to the hospital today and they did a UA, chest x-ray, ekg, bloodwork, weighed and measured me. They also gave me a bottle of magnesium citrate (for clean out) on Sunday before surgery:scared2:. They also gave me some soap to wash with the night before and then the morning after.

The good news I am the first one out in the morning. My surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I also found out they give me a tummy teddy bear for coughing~:smile2:

It's really nice to see so many of us able to be sharing in the wonderful journey ahead! Good luck to all!
