amclapp 8 Posted November 3, 2012 When did u get banded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauradevans 52 Posted November 3, 2012 I live in the Oak Grove area around Westover intersection. I was just banded a week ago on 10/24 and my husband was banded on the same day. So do you have a day? Are you having it done at the Surgery Center at the clinic? Do you have support having it done? If you want to email me instead, please do... its lauradevans@gmail.com. We do have a support group that meets at the clinic once a month. Last on was on the 23rd so I'm not sure when the next is... it was our first to go to. I know it's scary and you are on Pre-Op liquids... I've been there, hang in, you can do it. SF popciles got me through. What are you drinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amclapp 8 Posted November 3, 2012 I am being banded on November 16th and i am having it done at the clinic....i am drinking a fruit flavored Protein Shake. My email is amclapp@gmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauradevans 52 Posted November 3, 2012 Fruit? What kind? I drank EAS adn others... you may be ready and not have any questions but if you do and you wanna meet sometime over the weekend, just let me know. Not sure if you drink coffee but we could meet at BAM or Starbucks. I know even though my husband and I did it together, I had lots of questions and wanted to talk and chat to anyone who had been through it and like a typical man... he didn't want to talk much about it... LOL. I'm excited for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
