So after my last banding fiasaco 2 weeks ago I got my new surgery date. 8/2/2010. I hope that there are no problems this time and everything goes off without a hitch! I guess now I am a August Bandster! Anyone else out there?? :smile2:

Good luck to you! I read what happened last time and lightening can't strike twice in the same spot, can it?! I hope not, that would suck bigtime and I would take that as a HUGE sign from the man upstairs that you aren't supposed to have the LB!!!

I could be an August bandster, not sure yet!

Congrats on your date! You're one up on me!

Thanks for the support. I have a great surgeon and the office staff is great too! My Dr assures me that I will get my band with the next surgery. The only reason why they could not band me the last time is to make sure that the band did not cause an infection. I have faith that everything will turn out great! Right?

I am glad to hear that we will start to change our lives in the same month. Good Luck!!

THANKS!

I think a lot can happen with a positive attitude and it sounds like you have one! So, YES! It will work out great!! It does sound like you have a decent doctor who listened to his better judgement and decided not to risk infection. Some doctors may have gone ahead anyway, kwim?!

If we're not August band-buds, then I hope we're at least summer band-buds!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
