Hello all! I have an appointment Oct. 20th with my doctor and I will get my surgery date on that day. I was told by the office staff that it should be about two weeks from when I meet with him. Which means I will be a November 2009 Bandster. Anyone else out there yet with a prospective November surgery date? What are you going to do to kill time so you don't get too excited and jump out of your skin like I feel like I might!

WOW, this post is growing by leaps and bounds, but I can now stick my little 2 cents in and add...

I Got A DATE!!!!

Finally,

NO turkey for me, YIPPEE, Yippee,

Cuz, I gotta date, Nov 24 for me, for me!!!!!

yay! congrats!!! :thumbup: welcome to the Nov bandsters club!

Today is my day #2 of the pre-op diet.

IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WARNING- TMI but;

I got so sick this morning, with diarrhea and then after dinner I threw up. what's going on!? :thumbup:

I'm thinking maybe my stomach doesnt settle too well with slimfast optima shakes? I've had them before- I was just fine with it.. now I'm not?

I am struggling with the hunger! I bought kellog's protein tea mix, it tastes good! but it hasnt really helped with the hunger.

Can't find the group.... Help!:thumbup:

I'm going in for a "revision" surgery :huh2:on Nov 5th.. so does that make me a November Bandster?

I originally had mine in Sept 07. Overall, happy with it, but bummed that my band slipped. I had a couple bouts of vomitting (really bad reflux @ night too), and I think that's how the band slipped. Doc said there is really no way to know how it happened. :thumbup:

HELLO!! I'm joining you all with a Nov. 30th Surgery Date!!

Found it thanks!

Hi MiaBlue,

I am being banded on 27 Nov with Dr Chris, how is prep going? JB

Hi JB,

what prep? you have me worried now. I have asked about a pre-op diet diet but have not been advised as yet. As soon as I hear anything I will let you know. How you feeling, excited, nervous? I am already struggling with sleeping now, I think it is both of the aforementioned things. I just keep trying to imagine my body in 1 years time and it makes me smile. Speak soon.

Has a name been giving to the november 09 bandsters group yet???

went in today for my final appt with the doctor and will be called sometime tomorrow with my offical surgery date. I can't wait for that phone to ring. I am going to carry it with me all day, even to the bathroom. I am not going to miss that call! I suspect my surgury will be sometime the second week of November. Hopefully not the 9th since that is my sons birthday!

Hi November Bandsters: Rambler here, writing my first post. My surgery date is Wednesday, November 4th, less than a week. Can't wait. I'm a week in for my pre-op diet. Slim Fast Low Carb shakes and sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, along with lots of Crystal Lite and sugar-free Jell-O.

Fortunately, I'm not at all hungry,although I'm pretty tired of the sweet taste from the shakes. Unjury chicken soup is okay, but I feel kind of bloated after 8 ozs.

Best to all who are starting their journey this month and just think how absolutely fabulous we're all going to look by this time next year.

Hi Everyone - My name is Rae. I guess I am joining the group for November bandsters too. I am to be banded on November 9th. I have been in the process now since June 24th which was my first day that I met with my surgeon. Pretty exciting news the day they said that I was approved. Good Luck to all of you!!:thumbdown:

Well it looks like I will be joining you all in the November bandsters. I am looking at a Nov 16th surgery date. I have been lurking in the forums and wishing and dreaming for about 8 years. I am so excited and scared all at the same time. I am 6 ft tall and weigh 361 pounds at my first dr visit about 3 weeks ago. I so looking forward to feeling like I did 15 years ago. Good Luck you all This is the first month of the rest of our lives :sad:
