Hey everyone! I am also a July Butterfly. I am going to be having my surgery in the next week or 2. I have everything one and my surgery is all paid in full sence I was self pay. I am just not waiting to my srugery date. I am very excited and hope everyone is doing great and good luck to everyone!

My doctor and the hospital he does it at are both center of excellence. So I am not sure.

For the first time I tryed Nextar Apple protien shake, and I must say it was accually tasty. I was impressed so I think I am going to order that one. I have some others to test will let everyone know how they are as well. Also to pass on saving that my LP nurse gave to me you can order Nextar shakes at www.bestpricenutrition.com for half the price at $24.95. Good luck to everyone!

Hello everyone, I am awaiting my schedule date which I should get this week as soon as my blood results come back! I am more then excited and cant wait. It just cant come quick enough. I have to do the 5 day prediet before my surgery of nothing but liquids. So I got some samples of protein shakes from my doctors office last week and just now got the nerve to try one. I tryed the Nectar Apple Ecstasy and believe it or not it didnt make me feel like I was going to puke it back up.(sorry I know its graphic) But after years of drinking things to lose weight just brings back many bad thoughts. So just wanted to share my experience with everyone because I truly know how hard it is to find a protien shake that you enjoy. Also if you go to www.bestpricenutrition.com you can order it for half the price its only $24.95. Thats just something the LP nurse at my doctors office shared with me and I wanted to pass it along. I know it can all get very expensive. So good luck everyone you are all doing great!!!! :biggrin:

Count me in that sounds like alot of fun!

Hey everyone I love to read as well and would love to join your "Book Club" Just wanted to pass along a good set of books to read are the Stephaine Plum collection by Janet Evanovich. They are very very good books the kind that you laugh out loud to your self and everyone else in the room looks at you like you have lost it lol. Anyways hope everyone is doing great on there weight loss!!! :thumbup:

Hey everyone!!! I should be getting my date next week as soon as they get my blook work results back and should be having my surgery at the end of July so that would make me a Lucky 7!!! Hope everyone is doing well and just as excited as my self!

Ok thank you I go to him this Wed. to get the date for my surgery. I couldn't be anymore excited!!! I take it you live in the area, if you ever need someone to talk to just let me know.

Just wanted to say HI, I know its a late response, but you are the first person after searching threw pages and pages that was going to Dr Balder. I am going to him now and hope to be banded the second week of July. How has your experience been?
