I was wondering if anybody banding on 8-27-09 and want to start a support group????

Hey! I wasn't banded in August, but thought I'd share this link with you - it's the link to the subforum on this site for August 2009 bandsters.

August 2009 Forum

thank u, i wil check it out. have u gotten ur surgery? how was the experience?

Yea I was banded July 13 2009. It's been a great experience for me. It wasn't my first surgery at all, I've had 2 kidneys removed among other things so the surgery itself was a breeze in comparison. I think the toughest part of it all is that it's such a mental battle. I have good restriction now so the band is doing it's job, but I have to battle every day to make sure I do MY job and make the right food choices. Each day it gets easier though!

im getting banded on august 27! -- excited/nervous!

Hi I'm also getting my band 8/27 and I'm really happy but starting to get a little scared. And trying to make the best of this pre-op liquid diet

Hi there. My name is Bill. I'm 31, from NY, and I am getting banded this thurs, 8/27. I like your idea of a support group....i guess a little closer than those on the forum already...

My email is givempils@aol.com.....I'm really glad I found this site, its been really helpful so far. I'm really excited for thursday, and the liquid diet isnt really that bad...I dont mind it at all...

I'd love to email back and forth with a few people so i can have access on my blackberry in the hospital.......this site works too slow on my bb.....

I hope i havent come across as weird.....Shoot me an email soon!

Thanks,

Bill:tt2:
