Who's Getting Banded in July?

Well, I'm banded!!! A little sore today but not bad. I had the upper GI prior to surgery which was clear but when he got in there I had a hernia, which he repaired. Dont know all the detail cause hubby didn't ask. Glad it over and ready to get started on new life!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE OTHERS -
Facing my worst fear......

I am having surgery tomorrow. The diet for me was good but I stayed really busy. My hubby was the greatest, he would not eat around me and I would walk in another room when he ate. I lost 18 pounds on the pre-op diet and I have a very clean house LOL..Good Luck -

well Tuesday is surgery day for me. I am on day 5 of my liquids only diet. I am starting to feel run down. I have lost about 14.5 lbs since I started my pre-op diet. Doctor told me I would. I just take it meal to meal and try to stay busy. I have decided to clean my house on Saturday to pass the time away. I feel like my life is about to start over!!!!!!:tt2: -
That's great...I hope it all works out. My WLS doctor had a great person in insurance who gave me great advice on how to help get approved. Maybe you will have luck with that too.

Oh man I am on the sixth day of pre=op diet and it has been my worst. Low energy not really the hunger. BUt I'll be having my surgery July 1st so I know it worth it. -
Boy can I relate. I had a doctor who told me to try yoga instead LOL 335 pound woman doing yoga. Guess what i found me a new doctor! That was back in November 2007. This new doctor had helped me thru all the processes and just got approved for surgery for July 1st. But my advice is go in there with your research and also make list of all those diets you failed at and have a heart to heart with the doc.
