amandaellen 0 Posted July 3, 2010 July 13 is my date. Hard to believe it is less than two weeks away. I don't have a "prescribed" pre-surgery diet, but am trying to keep it low carb and fat/ high lean protien. Totally cut out fast and fried foods. If you are having surgery in July and would like to keep in touch by email, let me know! Would love the support!:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iwannabealoser 0 Posted July 4, 2010 Im officially banded! I had my surgery July 1, but I had it in mexico so i just got home last night. Surgery went really well, liquid diet is not so fun lol but Im doing pretty good. So excited to have it all over with! When I woke up in recovery I actually freaked out for a second bc I didnt feel any pain right away and I was afraid something happened and they werent able to give me the band. I dont know why I was so worried that would happen lol but anyways I started to try and sit up a little bit and felt the pain and couldnt help but smile because I knew that meant it was in there and from here on out its just following the "rules of the band" best of luck to everyone having surgery coming up! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpatches 0 Posted July 4, 2010 Hi everyone, I finally got my golden ticket. My surgery date is July 21. I can't wait. I am so excited, but scared about it too. I have been heavy my whole life, I'm not to sure what I will look like at a healthy weight and that is kind of a scary thought too. Does anyone else feel this way?:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
