Good Luck Wednesday. I get banded on Wed the 27. Let us know how it goes.

Howdy all!!! Chris here from TX. Getting ready to join all you OCTOBER BANDSTERS..... I start my pre-op diet on Oct 13. Band day is Oct 27. I can't wait. Good luck to all who are getting banded this month..

My dr said to take two. That's what I've been doing for a month or so already

I am just wondering if anyone knows anything about dr Marsden. I have seen him a couple of times. He has been real easy to talk too. I am getting banded Oct27. I chose him because I am having shoulder surgery done at Baylor trophy club and am having the band done at the same time. He was rcomended by my PCP. Any info would be great. Chris

Hello everyone. My name is Chris. I was just approved on 9/23/10. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 27. I am so excited to finally have a chance to be healthy.. I am 35 yrs old, 6ft 350lbs. My goal weight is somewhere around 220. I am also having some work done to my shoulder at the same time. Most of the doctors and other medical ppl i have talked to keep telling me that i am going to hurt. I am starting to get a little nervous. This will be my first surgery, so i guess my issue is all the unknown. I watched my wife go through this procedure Nov 20 2009. She has had a pretty easy time with the band. She has lost 40lbs so far. I welcome your support,encouragement and advice. Chris

Hi all!! My name is Chris. I live in Keller TX. I just got my date last week. i am having my band done oct 27. I can't wait. I am starting to get nervous now. I am looking for some ppl here in Keller/Southlake area for support. My wife was banded nov 20 2009. She has only lost about 40lbs. I am a truck driver so i tend to eat out alot. I know you can be productive and do well eating out with the band. The nutritionist i have been dealing with has given me alot of flack for eating out, and has basically told me that i can not after the band. I have asked for her to sit down with me and help and was told it wont work. She has said that i need to bring food with me and heat it up at the places i deliver. I happen to deliver to restaurants so that is not an option due to health code. So i will be forced to only carry things i can eat cold. This doesn't seam reasonable all the time. Any advice? Thanks Chris
