No I have a surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I went to GNC today to pick up some protein/whey powder for my post op Protein drinks. It was quite an experience! There's a lot to choose from out there.

Will be banded on the 22nd as well. The reality of it all happening so soon is beginning to make me

anxious as _ _ _ _!!! (HELL)

Never had surgery or general anesthesia. So nervous!

I didn't have a pre op diet, so I have been eating all of the things that I know that I wouldn't be able to eat post band!

Looking toward a thinner, healthier future!

I would like to wish all of the future bandsters (especially those on 11/22) good luck and a uneventful recovery! ;)

Hi,

My surgery date is December 1, 2010. I started my pre op diet yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache! I am not feeling too well. I am haiving Protein Drinks 3 daily with lots of Water, some Jello and I make my Protein drinks with skim milk. Do you feel better after a few days? Good luck to you!

Dear November Bandsters! Good luck to everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!! I will know tomorrow if I go in on Monday at 7:30 am or not...problem with my insurance. If not, then it will be Dec. 7th...may be a good thing if it is Monday, since I am so nervous...and it will be a surprise!! Just got the book Bandwagon and its a God send, as you all are to me...a lot of good advise and information. The more we know the better...God bless!

Hi There! I too went to GNC and got Isoopure's liquid Protein which I found to be much more palatable. I am also getting banded on November 22nd... three more days! Please stay in touch and good luck with recovery!

dear soundman: I grew up in providence rhode island and went to school in massachusetts. Where in ri are you from? I am also getting banded on november 22nd... Just three more days! I didn't have to do the preop either so i have been eating my way through each day with a sadness and relief at the same time that i will never have to see these foods in these portion sizes again. Where are you getting banded? What hospital? Good luck to you and safe recovery! Stay in touch.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
