My surgery date is May 4th, 2011!! I have been waiting since October because my insurance had put me on a waiting list and now the

time is here! I cannot wait and good luck to you!

My surgery date is May 4 also! Where are you? I live in Columbus OH! My anesthesia consult is this friday. Other than that I am ready to go.

I just got my surgery date today I'll be having my procedure done on May 10th! I can't wait. I only have to do a one week liquid diet before surgery.

Hey ccblue! Congrats on the same date! I am in orange county, california. I met with my surgeon and I'm currently doing a slim fast diet to get healthier for the surgery. So excited!!!

I'm glad that I have a surgery day friend We also have about the same amount of weight to lose. I hope this next month flies by. Do you have to do a liquid diet? How long? My doctor only requires a one week. I am thinking about trying to do two, but I don't know.

I am also on the 10th!! Just found out yesterday! GOOD LUCK TO US!

I am scheduled for May 3. I start the Protein diet on Monday April 18. I hope the two weeks goes fast. I just want to get it done and start the healing and losing process.

I'm scheduled for May 12.....will find out for sure when I go for pre-op on April 21.....

Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here.

I honestly don't know yet. I go on the 3rd to get all of my instructions for surgery. I am assuming if there is any kind of liquid diet I'll find out then. I've been on a pre-op diet since the beginning of March which is basically the South Beach diet and have lost some weight and need to continue on that diet. I know I'll be on Clear liquids the week after surgery. I'm not looking forward to that part. I hope it flies by too! I have so many appointments for pre-op testing, surgery clearance, and final weigh ins with the surgeon that I am sure I'll be kept busy. I am trying not to worry too much. I am just hoping all goes well and it is worth all of my efforts!!

I went to the pulm earlier today to get the results of my sleep study and everything was fine! thank GOD! Today is also exactly 4 weeks from my surgery day. I guess my surgeon's office is waiting for the clearance letter from my DR that I saw today and then they can submit everything. I also joined a new gym this week and have a buddy to go with. I'll be going Mon-Fri and might even go twice a day. I really want to get this weight off as quick as I can. If anyone hasn't seen Skymoon1982 on youTube you have to check out her videos...very inspirational.
