Sorry if this thread has already been started but I looked around a bit and couldn’t find one. I think that those of us who are scheduled for September need a place to support each other, help pass the time, and not spam up the boards with a thousand approved threads:tongue2:!!! I am so excited to being this journey. So, how about it? Any lost September banders out there? :ohmy::)

Hey there, my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 15th.. Im on this liquid diet as well are you getting crazy headaches?

Are you nervous and up all night googling lap band topics like me

anni, I think that is the only thing getting me by. I can look at others results and it gives me confidence to go on. Otherwise, I would have called it off by now.:thumbup:

Hey Cortney,

I am 6 days out tonight and I just don't feel that great. I just don't know how much gas one person can possibly keep hanging on too! Its miserable, I didn't drink or eat as much today cuz I just feel like crap!

I know without a doubt this was the right choice for me but its easy to lose site of that when you feel blah!

I am doing all of the same things as you, heating pad, gas X, walking, pain meds. I am suppose to go back to work tomorrow night(night shift)-will have to play that by ear as the day progresses.

I hope you are doing better and all of our fellow Sept 1 bandsters are in recovery mode!

Thinking Thin......!!

good morning,

I was also banded 9/1/09 and it has been ok.. for the most part.. I also work night shifts, but will not start back on those till next week sometime. I do go back to days on Thurs. I have to be cleared by our occ. health and was placed on 10lb weight restriction till the middle of next week. So, my supervisor put me on her version of admin. duty ( basicly doing some of her paperwork).

I am trying to figure out, hunger versus generalized rumbling....

also I did learn the hard way, if it says decaff, use only decaff.. I got sick on sat. did not leave the house at all. I had a recipie mix for my protein shakes and used the wrng coffee.. :mad:

I am growning tired of the shakes, but i have not had to repeat the same one two times in a row.. i am ready to chew something of substance..

well, tell me how you are doing

take care

Hi all, not sure where to post, newbie here.

Any of you heard about Dr. Alverez in Mexico and the hospital he works from? I hear nothing but good things. Considering him soon.

anni, I think that is the only thing getting me by. I can look at others results and it gives me confidence to go on. Otherwise, I would have called it off by now.:mad:

Off to have my last appointment before the surgery on the 15th. Day 4 of my liquid diet and it seems to be getting easier. Im excited and slightly nervous.... but im really happy to have found this forum. How do I post myself on the september surgery list?

How do you get the weightloss ticker??

My surgery date is 9/17 and I start my 7 day liquid diet on Thursday. My surgeon requires 7 days sans solids and <20gm protein daily. I'm not looking forward to a week of tasteless sugar-free food, but I AM looking forward to wearing a swimsuit next summer! Wish all ya'll the best of luck!

Welcome to newbies and good luck to everyone having surgery today. Well found out today through Employee Health that i can't go back to work yet with the restrictions the doctor gave me, so thank god for STD. Contacted Aetna (my STD carrier) and filed a claim, hopefully it won't take long to recieve my benefits. Go back to my Dr on the 21 rst. Hoping He will lift his restrictions and I can go back to work on the 24th, If not hopefully I can go back on 10/2/09. I'm a nurse and on a occasion we have to lift patients in bed or turn them, so even though I would have alot of help, they wouldn't risk it and I don't blame them. Well hope everyone has a great day.:mad:
