My pre-op diet starts on Monday actually. It seems that my diet is a little bit more easier that the rest that I've read on here. It's basically 2-days of full liquids. I am not looking forward to it but I kinda started prepping myself for it, by doing a liquid breakfast for this week and over the upcoming weekend. I hope it's not going too difficult for me.

congratulations! how are you feeling? my surgery is scheduled for next wednesday 6/17. i can't wait!

Hi there - I just came accross your page and noticed your surgery date is today. I wanted to wish you luck! my surgery is scheduled on the 17th and I cannot wait!

Hi there - I saw that you were recently banded so I thought I'd stop by to see how you're feeling. My surgery is next week on Wednesday 6/17.

i thought you get 4 incisions or something close to that? how did you get away with just 1?

do you have to be fully naked during surgery or do they allow some clothing? I've never had surgery before =)

are you walking around much today?

congratulations! how are you feeling?

I'm actually getting the procedure done in Oxnard. My doctor is Dr. Billy and his practice is there and has an office in Thousand Oaks. I work in TO, so I may just go to a support group there. Just thought I'd try to find something near home.

So, what type of hurldes have you had to go through after getting banded? What types of foods do you eat now? I'm curious what type of diet people really keep after their stomachs have healed.

Yeah, I can't believe my surgery date is finally here. It really feels real now. Strange. I've been in the process since December and every month I felt discouraged since it seems like it was taking so damn long! Haha! Thank goodness it's next week!

Hi there! I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I think one of your posts contained Dr Billy's name when I was doing a search. I'm getting banded by him next week on Wednesday. I'm very excited about it! Do you ever go to his support group in TO?

Hi there! I saw that you are from the Thousand Oaks area, I work in that city. How is it going for you? Have you reached your goal weight yet? I'd love to hear about your experience as I will be getting banded next Wednesday! Hope to chat soon! - Marie

Hi there! I saw that you are from the LA area, I am too (Santa Monica). How is going for you? Have you reached your goal weight yet? I'd love to hear about your experience as I will be getting banded next Wednesday! Hope to chat soon! - Marie

Hi there - I saw that you were in the LA area and thought I'd drop you a line. I'm the area as well and I'm getting banded next Wednesday - I cannot wait! How is it going for you? Are you close to your goal weight? Also, would you happen to know if there is a support group in the Santa Monica area by chance? Thanks! -Marie

Hi there! I'm getting banded on 6/17 and I'm asking around how everyone's recovery was for them. I'm most afraid of the first month. I have this fear that I'm going to want to eat too much and the band will break or something! LOL Anyway, was it a pretty rough start for you? You're looking great by the way (looked at your pictures). Would love to hear about your experience! Take care! - Marie
