Hi all, I'm Dusty from Mt. Washington, Kentucky - just outside of Louisville. I'm so excited to be getting my band on Dec. 22. :ohmy::thumbup:

My Surgeon is Bryce Schuster. I can't wait to get the weight off and begin a healthier lifestyle.

I have a goal to learn to play ice hockey in an adult league when the wieght comes off. Just something I've always wanted to do but never was able to. Now I have a chance.

I hope to meet a lot of fellow bandsters and get advise and support.

Hi there coupe! Welcome to the Men's room!

Welcome to the Men's room

I started my journey in 9/07 and have never regretted getting the band.

Congrats! I am certain you will find great success. My advice is to ask your doctors and bariatric coordinators every question you have, take part in support group and don't try to "beat the band." You'll be amazed how soon you will start to feel better and have more energy.

Good luck!

Congrats coupe ! I am also getting the band soon - on Dec 11 ! It should be an interesting journey.

GREAT! COme join us in the December Bandsters thread!

cograts you wont look back and welcome to the mens room:thumbup:

Congrats on being banded next month. My date is Dec. 17.

Like Electra said, stop on by Community - Social Groups - December 2009 Bandsters. There are about 100 of us so far who are supporting each other as our band date approaches.

Hockey. I have been playing since I was 6 years old. It’s a great sport. I'm looking forward to getting back to it once I lose some weight. Let us know how you’re doing.

Welcome again Duce! Definately check out the monthly support group for December. My surgery was in April and it's great to be in contact with those that had surgery around the same time as you.

i'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and I've already lost 10 pounds woohoo.

Way to go bud ! I'm also on my liquid diet, day 6 and have lost 14 lbs ! I was hoping for maybe 5 lbs ! Awesome ! Good luck to you !

i'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and I've already lost 10 pounds woohoo.

If I don't get back on before your surgery good luck neighbor.

hey thanks, My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30am - woohoo I'm so ready to get the band.

Good news I've lost 20 pounds on the liquid diet so far.

Good luck with the surgery on the 22nd. It will be good to see you on the losers` bench

Hey guys my surgery was yesterday and I'm doing awesome.

Gas pains weren't an issue and the only pain feels like an ab blast workout.

I'm able to get around and get up from my bed and recliner with no issues - i don't think it could have gone any better for me. :tongue:
