I am looking at mid month , if all goes well :-) Lets keep each other up to date!

Just finished my pre-op on Friday the 24th, EKg, Chest Xray, and blood work... All went well and I'm ready for surgery on August 12th! Yaaah. Pre op diet starts on July 29th, I was surprised that my doctor allows me to eat one meal... and two protein shakes. It could be the fact that my BMI is 39, not really sure but is sounds like it will rather simple since I can eat at least one meal, as well as sugar free popcicles and sugar free jello, this should be a breeze.

Start Weight: 252

Pre Op Weight: 239

Goal Weight: 145

Folks, we are getting super close to being BANDSTERS!!! Anyone freaking out yet? I hate when I let myself read the bad stories on here....gets me scared! But I'm just so ready to get it over with on Aug. 5th!!! And SO ready to lose all this dang weight!!!

My surgery date is Aug.12. 09. I 'm so anixous, scared and happy all at the same time. The closer I get to aug 12, the more scared i become. I know everything will go well but scared of the unknown.:thumbup:

Hey I have the same date...don't worry you will be fine...This is what you've been waiting for....:thumbup:

My DH is scheduled for August 17th....

I am feeling really nervous but trying not to show that to him. He wants the surgery, and I want to be supportive!:thumbup:

I hope I can be banded in August! I just had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago, so I'm not sure if he'll want to wait till September or later.

I have surgeon consultation 7/28/09. If all goes well, I'll let you know!

Good luck August Banders!

I just had my gallbladder out 7.9.09 and im still supposed to get my band on 8.5.09. I think you will be fine enough for surgery by September. Good luck :thumbup:

I just got my date this morning- August 7th. Started my pre-op diet today, and I'll be 2 days shy of a full 2 weeks on the pre-op diet, but hope that will be good enough. I think it will be since some surgeons only do a 1 week pre-op diet...

I'm cash pay and this has all happened so fast! I was not expecting to be those close to surgery so soon.

I just finished my pre-op appointment this morning got blood work and all completed, I haven't been put on a pre-op diet or anything just the usual don't eat after midnight stuff, I guess everyone is different. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. My husband and I have been planning the different broths to make to help me through the first three weeks of liquids, and food for the mushie stage too. My children are excited too. one week to go...:smile2:

I am an August 7th baby! I am just so excited. Disappointed because I am not gaining support from very close friends.

August 4th in Portsmouth New Hampshire. Been research for 3 years and still don't think I know enough :smile2:

Got my date yesterday!! August 28, 2009!!
