Hello, My name is Lisa and I am having my procedure on Tuesday, August 12, 2008. I signed up to meet new friends and people going to get it done and had it done.

Welcome Lisa. This is a great site for support. I was banded May 19th 2008 and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Good luck!!

Hi Lisa,

I am getting mine at 9:00, Tues. morn! I can't wait.

I will say, I will miss some things.

Did you have to diet before it's done?

I wish you all the best.

I love to hear how you are doing in the recovery stage.

S.

Yes I did I lost 22 lbs to my own surprise. I did gain back 5 lbs it is summer and I knew, but I went back to the liquid to get use to drinking it. during the diet I did a little of everything to get a feel for it. I didn't do a lot of heavy eating with the fatty foods, I learn to eat the right things. So it is hard but it will be all worth it, I can't wait for my surgery, Dr. Noel Williams will be doing my procedure here in Philly at Univ of Pa

How do you feel and how much did you loose if you don't mind me asking since being banded

Hey Lisa!! I just joined here a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations on getting your surgery date!!! I was banded June 2, 2008 and i would do it again in a heartbeat! I did something great for myself. I'm learning to eat healthy and i'm already off of my diabetes med and my blood pressure med!!! I really feel better already and i still have a LONG way to go!

Keep me updated with everything and feel free to email me.

Good luck!!

Welcome! This forum is really great for getting information! I will be banded on Monday August 11th and I cannot wait! Good Luck on your journey!

Hi all! I'm new also. I was banded 2 weeks ago, and am still getting used to how this all works. Good luck to everyone getting ready to have their procedure! We're all in this together!

hi Lisa,

One more day for you!!!! I am so excited, I have read all the material that was given even a website I had to go on and listen to the details of the surgery and after surgery information. I watched it a few times. I am not nervous and I hope you are not, we both will do just great and I look forward to talking to you when you can...I will try to touch bases with you by Friday, I should be relaxed by then. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Big congrats!!!!
