rjtrimmer 0 Posted June 14, 2008 I just started my two-week Atkins diet on Wednesday. I have absolutely no energy right now, hopefully it gets better soon. As of right now I will be having my surgery on June 25th with Dr. Carcamo. They said it was a tentative date so I hope nothing changes. Best of luck Drew05 and GinaJ.

GinaJ 2 Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks Jeanette. Please let me know how you do on your preop diet, and also after you have your surgery. Congratulations on your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjtrimmer 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Hey Drew and Gina, I was banded this morning!:thumbup: I was told to be there at 6:30 a.m. and that my surgery would probably be around 9:00 or 9:30. I think someone may have cancelled today though because I was in the OR by 8:00. I was walking out the doors there a little after 11:00 and was home by 12:30. My DH is great and is taking great care of me. So is my mom. Everything went great. I am hardly in any pain:thumbup: and I hope it stays that way. Just some gas pains in my chest and in my left shoulder. I was happy to see that I lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet. Well, I'm off to bed. Just wanted to update you. Hope all is well with you!
