November Surgery Dates

[steph_co 9]

Congrats, Phil! Sounds like you're doing pretty good. I would say, though, that if it were me, in spite of what the doctor said, I would NOT eat solid foods for at least two weeks. The point of that is that your stomach has to "work" at food by churning...muscle contractions around the stomach. The harder your stomach has to work, the more likely it'll be for the stitches holding your band in place to tear and possibly cause slippage. Drinking liquids makes this less likely to happen because your stomach doesn't have to work as hard.

Of course, I'm not your doctor, but I would choose to be on the safe side, if it were me, and err on the side of caution.

Ann: *hugs* You'll do great! I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts tomorrow!

Thanks Stephanie for a good tip. Makes perfect sense. I'm very cautious and am sticking to Soup in the immediate term. Back at work today, Tuesday (Surgery Sunday, recuperated Monday) and feeling somewhat tender but quite able to work effectively. Appreciate the support and best wishes from everyone in the group. Cheers Phil.

In 24 hours, I'll be on my way to surgery and celebrating my rebirthday!! I'm excited, but also feel like I could puke right now. Guess the nerves are starting to creep in

I received my approval letter from United Healthcare, so I am definitely a go for launch on Nov 27th. I have never been so excited at the prospect of surgery. I am so looking forward to a new, thinner life.

Have a Great Week Everyone!

I think you copied and pasted a very old list. We have many more names than that in November.

Shadsta83....here I am :confused:!! How are you doing tonight? I'm pretty good. A little bitchy and snappy, and my hands and feet are freezing....a sure sign for me that I'm nervous! My surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am, I need to be there by 6:faint: Good luck to you tomorrow!

[shadst83 0]

Girl I'm sitting here sucking down my last b4 the band shake. I've been running around this evening and I've finally taken time out to "eat". It's good that I've been busy, though because I'm exhausted and I think I'll sleep well tonight. I have to be there at 7am for surgery at 9. Hopefully I'll feel well enough tomorrow to report back tomorrow. Good luck back atcha!!!! :confused:

hello Nov bandsters! Did we ever decide on a name so that we can start a new thread and keep in touch? I can't wait for tomorrow...B-day is finally here.

Way to go all that are through their operations and good luck to the ones coming up...:whoo:
