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!

Hi,

Anyone based in the UK being banded in Belgium in November?

JB

What do u get to eat on yours?

My Full Liquid Diet (Everything is 1/2 cup - 1 cup)

-Milk 1% or skim

-Low Fat Sugar free Yogurt. (make sure it has very very small pieces of fruit)

-Low fat sugar free pudding

-Low fat sugar free custard

-Strained Cream Soup either 97% or 98% fat free

-Tomato Juice

-V-8 juice (not the fruit one)

-Oatmeal, cream of wheat or grits: extra runny

-Most importantly Protein Supplement drink

November 9th is my big day. Started my pre-op today.

Protein shake for breakfast, then a lean meat and veggie for lunch and dinner.

I'm having my surgery On Nov 27th in Tijuana. My insurance turned me down twice, and this was the only affordable way. They want me on the liquid diet 5 days before the op.

Hello fellow "soon-to-be" bandsters! My surgery date is Nov. 10th and I have been totally obsessed with research. It's hard to concentrate on other things when all I can think about is the surgery. So excited and optimistic.

HAHA i thought i was the only crazy one.. jk.

i can't wait.. mine is 11/23. i just think.. the more research.. the more successful.

good luck!

Are any of you having your surgery in Tijuana. If so, Are you comfortable with the idea?

I'm sure it will be perfectly fine. The doctors in Mexico are good as just about anywhere just be sure to follow all of their directions and you will be ok. :wink2:

So are we going to have a cute name for our little November group? :wink2:

I am going to be having my band put in on November 19th. I am going through all kinds of mixed emotions. I am just waiting for my information packet to arrive to tell me about the pre op and post op diet and to get my blood work and ECG done. I know this is a good thing that I am doing but I have carried this weight for 30 years now and the realization that it is actually going to go away is so overwhelming. :wink2:
