hey cool ! I am June 19th!

My surgery date is May 15th with Dr. Rosett, Im not nervous about the surgery, just making sure that I lose the 8-10lbs beforehand is whats bugging me. I been TRYING to do the slimfast diet before the actual 2 weeks so that I can get used to it, its hard, really hard. Are you going to the sessions?

Well so far I have seen the pych, I see the medical and Erin on Wed. this week and then next week I start the sessions. I not really nervous, my mom went in Nov 08 so I feel I am ready for this, I need this change. How is it doing the slimfast??

Its hard, but I eat a salad just to give me a bit of filling. BUT OHHHHHHHHHHH when it comes time to do the liquid only, it will be hard, but its getting better.

My surgery date is 6/10/09 and i quit chewing tobacco 4/15. This has been really hard for me to do but it is getting easier. I know it is the right thing to do if i want to enjoy my family and friends. Dr. Pitt and his staff have bent over backwards to help me through this. But i do know if it is to be, it is up to me. Most of the things i enjoy like hunting and fishing i can not enjoy because of my weight. How did i let myself get this way? My boss always told me to, DIRECT YOUR THOUGHTS, CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS,THEN YOU CAN ORDAIN YOUR DESTINY. I sure miss him and good luck to all.

June 5th for me also. I'm cautiously excited and nervous.

Oh YEAH!!! I finally run into others who are being banded in June! My surgery date is June 30th with Dr. Rivas at UTSW in Dallas. Let me know how yall are doing in the process of waiting 4 weeks or more like me. Anyone feel like they are on the "No food left behind tour?" :smile2:

I had Dr. Rosett. He's cool, but I hear he's not big on fills. I haven't had one yet. I'll see for myself when it's my time.

Hey June bandsters! I'm scheduled for Jun-3 with Dr. Giovanni @ Day One here in Chicago. Good luck, keep in touch - mscarly

I'm scheduled for surgey on 6/18 - 44 days to go!. I started counting at 73 days. I've been onthe Opti-Fast diet for 4 weeks now and am down 17 lbs. It's tough but I walk every day and try to stay close to the diet. I'm not nervous at all about the surgery - I wish I could have it tomorrow! Since I have more that half my body weight to loose, the sooner I get started the better!

My surgery in on June 1st. I am anxious and excited! Started a weight loss eating program yesterday ... so far, so good. Water aerobics tonight, that should be fun.

Congrats to everyone!

Just 10 more days for you!! How has the liquid diet been??? Stay strong in the long run it will be so worth it!!!

I'm scheduled for June 15...getting a little nervous! Doing a little second guessing..maybe cold feet?

I'm hoping that I'm a June Bandster. I have been to sleep study (should get cpap next week and have to be on it 3 wks prior), nutritionist, support group, psych, 6 month dr supervised diet... My sheet still says I need medical clearances but no one ever told me what those are and I've yet to hear back from the dr's office. Guess I'll bug them again tomorrow.

I am scheduled for June 6. I am anxious and excited!
