Soon to be bandster!

[AmyBee 0]

My name is Amy. I will be banded on July 11. I am so excited! The entire process has gone by fairly quickly for me. My initial consultation with the surgeon was approximatley 1 month ago. I had all my testing done within 2 weeks and am now starting the 2nd week of my pre-op diet. I just wanted to introduce myself as I have been "hiding out" reading everyone's posts over the last month. I look forward to talking with all of you in the future.:thumbup:

Amy - Congrats and welcome! I am fairly new to the site as well and will be banded on 7/16. So, I'm a few days into my preop diet. I hope the liquid diet goes smoothly for you!

Welcome to both of you and you are in the right place when going for this life changing decision. Just hang out and ask any questions you have and you will feel so much better about the surgery and life after.

Susie,

The first couple of days were hard on the pre-op diet. I am now used to it. I have lost 12 lbs in 8 days (I think it's mostly Water weight.) So sorry to hear about you having to do a 3 week pre-op diet. Keep up the hard work!
