Why did they change your date? This almost happend to me "insurance" issues on a Friday, but I refused to take NO for an answer. I have waited too long. On May 25 it will be a year since I started the process.

I too am being banded tomorrow. 24 hours from now I'll be in surgery. And I started my process 11 months ago so I know how you feel! Good luck to all of us!

:thumbup:Hello Everyone,

I really enjoyed reading your exciting postings. I too am scheduled for lapband surgery (tentatively) for May 25, 2009. Just waiting for confirmation from the nurse to see if the surgeon will be available to perform the surgery. My feelings about the big date is mixed, as I am both excited to beginning a healthier new me, but I am also nervous. Good luck to those who are awaiting surgery prior to my date and to those who have already had their surgeries. :-)

Hi there,

I am scheduled to be banded on May 18th. Currently on my liquid diet!

Much luck -- I am scheduled to be banded on May 25, 2009 granted the surgeon will be available. This is my first surgery, so I am nerveous and excited all at the same time. Can't wait to start the new me. I have a support group meeting this evening and can't wait to let them know that I have been approved and on my way to the new me!!!!!!

Please note that I am unable to get my picture to appear when I reply to

variouis quotes. I have checked it over and over and simply can't

understand why it will not appear. Please advise me of what I should be

looking for and what I need to modify so that my picture appears in my

replies and posts.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm scheduled for May 20th but my doctor has not put me on a liquid diet. Am I missing something I should be doing? signed Maybaby

Hi Maybaby, I don't start my liquid diet until 5 days before surgery. Why don't you call your nutritionist or nurse and find out the protocol & you'll be better off being prepared for it. GB

Hey Maybaby,

My doctor did not put me on a liquid diet at all. It all depends on the doctor and your starting weight. Best of luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
