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!

How's everybody doing?

I'm anxiously waiting for Wednesday.... hard to believe in less than 48 hours this will all be a reality...

Hey coconutlatte I am being banded by Dr Snyder this Friday so sorry I can't help you out with the hunger thing but have you been drinking your protein shakes?? I have heard that those can take the edge off. Were you happy with Dr. Snyder it seems so long that I have seen him for my first consult I won't even remember what he looks like lol Where are you in Denver?? Do you know of any support groups in the Denver/Aurora area?? I hope things get better for you and let me know how your first fill goes!!

I go into the Dr. office tomorrow for my 1st fill what do i need to know

Good luck to you!! Are you going to be overnight, or same day?

I'm going to be overnight when I have my surgery, but from what I am told the rooms that I will be in are like hotel suites. Private rooms, pullout bed sofa for a guest, flat screen televisions, private bath, wireless internet...BUT I hear the food service sucks!:tt2:

Be sure to let us know how it all went!:biggrin:

Thanks for your well wishes. I am everything went fine. I was banded at 8;30 and by 6:00 pm was getting ready to leave when I suddenly weak and some nausea so I decided to stay overnight. My room was not like that but the the hospital was pretty nice and the service was excellent. I have not needed to use pain medicine I am just uncomfortable with gas. I am actually at back at work and the hardest part is controlling your desire to eat when everything you can not have smells so good.

Hey all, I just started my 10 day liquid diet on Sunday which was the worst day for me, today was not too bad till about 3:30 when I got home I was starving.

I have 8 more days till surgery and cannot wait, I am so anxious.

First time to post here. I had surgery Nov. 12. 2009. All of this is new to me.I have had some discomfort but I will relax and recover. I am anxious to here from you fellow" banders". Let's journey together!:biggrin:

I just got the call confirming my surgery for Wednesday morning. I can't wait. All of the other November 18th people we have less than 48 hours to go.
