sourmissg 0 Posted August 27, 2010 I have been approved for Sept 24th...I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO excited :biggrin: Hi Septemerber bandsters! I just got the call today, my sugery date is scheduled for September 24, 2010. It seems unreal, I haven't told anyone yet (except my boss, so I could get the week off) but not the people that matter. I think I'm trying to comprehend that this is really happening, that I'm really about to start a brand new journey! Ctrose, and Kmckinleyrn Congratulations On your surgery dates, you guys are the first to have September 24, Cathy,I know you're at the hospital getting prepared for surgery at this time. This is your big day. You are the first from our group to be Banded.:thumbup::thumbup:, I'm so happy and excited for you, I wish you a speedy recovery. Please keep us post-it on your progress.

david314 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Got my surgery date - Sept 27. Will meet with my surgeon two weeks before for instructions. I already know that he requires Protein Drinks only for two weeks before surgery. I am using Premier Protein shakes (30g Protein; 160 calories; 3g fat). I get them from costco and the taste is very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helgainaz 0 Posted August 27, 2010 September 17 - I know my insurance won't pay so I'm not even going to go through that stress. It may be a bunch of money but I figure I'll get that money back in a couple of years without all the restaurant and grocery bills! Though I will probably more clothing expenses! It's time. I need to do this for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kysmith72 0 Posted August 27, 2010 My doctor is not requiring me to go on the liquid diet, but I was encouraged to go on one if I want to. I'm thinking it's probably a good idea. Does anyone have any good recommendations on decent tasting Protein Shakes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RACandler 0 Posted August 27, 2010 September bandsters - Good luck to all of you. I have my date Sept 20. I can't believe it really going to happen. Now if I can just avoid the Last Supper Syndrome I should be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
playermimi 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Hi everyone Tomorrow is day number 1 of the pre-op for me. I'm ready and willing to start! Insurance is all set . My bag is packed and I am stocking up on the foods I will need for the next three weeks. I'm hoping to stay away from the super market. I told my family every man for himself in the kitchen. I no longer am the chief cook and bottle washer. I am glad I have no little kids to cook for! :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
