charlene k, My surgery is scheduled for July 16th also. I wish you the very best surgery and result. The beginning of our new lives.

The fourth day it gets so much easier. So it won't bother you too bad. Today is day 6 for the liquids. Gets so easy just another way of life. YOu do think of food though and think of your old habits. Have the big picture in your head and it will help!

Thanks for the info....I am on day one.

I'm July 25th, too! I was on the list, but somehow now off it.

Thanks to those of you who say what liquid diets you are using - I really didn't get great information from my people at True Results about that. Is Optifast a prescription diet? My liquid diet begins next Thursday the 10th - do any of you 7/25'ers want to start with me?

I am so ready. And nervous. And grateful to have a community.

It's my big day too! I'm just waiting for my ride to the clinic. I'm hoping to check the posts to find out how the July 3rds made out today.

Good luck 2GoodDogs, scoutmama and Bigbander!

Hello everyone,

I found out yesterday that I'm being banded on July 10 instead of the 11th. My Doctor's nurses scheduled my surgery when my Doctor was going to be out of town at a seminar. They called yesterday and we rescheduled it for the 10th at Baylor Surger Center in Garland instead of Baylor Plano. One week from today it will be my turn. Will you please change my date on the list?

Thank You

I get banded on the 15th as well. Started the liquid diet 2 days ago. I am starving and hope I can make it drinking this for 2 weeks. Good luck and hope you are doing well on the liquid.

I am being banded on July 15 in Texas. Please add my name to the list. Azoreangal.

I will have surgery on July 22nd! I have already started the Optifast shakes and have lost 8lbs since seeing the doctor.

Please put me on the list!

Good luck to all those getting banded!

Hi Guys:

So sorry I couldn't update a day or two before surgery - was so busy trying to get ready I had no time!

Here's the most recent list. No one got dropped, but some of the cut and pastes other people do are from old lists and they don't add all the new people. If you are not on this list please let me know.

I had sugery yesterday. Feel so good it's amazing. Very little pain, able to sleep in my bed last night (strongly recommend a body pillow!), walked 12 minutes this morning and will a couple more times today which is good considering they are happy with 11 minutes the second day on several walks.

I will be writing up the whole experience and posting it on the sticky thread "Surgery Day Stories" (or something like that) later today. Willl try to remember to post the URL here for anyone who hasn't found the thread yet.

Surgery went great, recovery is great so far. Stick to the liquid diet, breath a lot, burb as much as possible (it really works) and just be very kind to your body and it all helps!

I hope you continue to do well. Thanks for updating the list. I didn't realize you just had surgery.
