Anyone else with a surgery date in July? I'll be banded on July 1st with Dr Scott Currie in Maryland.

Hey Tea! Congrats on getting a date set. You're on your way!! Good luck!

Hi, I'm scheduled for July also. I 'm a little concerned about recovery because I can't take off from work very long . Even if I feel ok Im thinkin I will be weak since we cant eat food for a while after surgery . Anybody have any experience with those issues?

thanks, Plain...it's an exciting time.

Newmel, one of my co workers had it done and she said she was ready to come back after 5 days. I'm going to use the entire three weeks of FLMA. I'm going to have my knee scoped as well.

I don't have a date yet, but I am having my gall bladder removed friday and have to wait about 6 weeks to heal. I think that puts me close to the first week in July.

I'm formerly from Md., now living in Florida. (Nevermind, I see doc is in Md., you are in Pa!)

Good luck with your cholectomy and keep me posted on your surgery date.

I am also scheduled for the first week in July. I have to do the liquid diet for a week prior to surgery. I am looking forward to losing the weight, but a bit nervous about the day to day eating stuff. I have heard that you must chew your food really well so it doesn't get stuck. Trying to get good ideas from people before surgery.

I will be banded in July. Approved yesterday, and must have stress test on Wednesday (ughhhhh!!) and will have July sugery date by the end of the week!!

Cool beans....keep us posted! Good luck on your stress test.:redface:

Yes, I live in PA but, will be banded in MD. I actually live 20 mins from the PA/MD state line and I prefer not to have the surgery where I work.
