[hot tea 0]

Anyone else with a surgery date in July? I'll be banded on July 1st with Dr Scott Currie in Maryland.

Hi, I'm scheduled for July also. I 'm a little concerned about recovery because I can't take off from work very long . Even if I feel ok Im thinkin I will be weak since we cant eat food for a while after surgery . Anybody have any experience with those issues?

Newmel, one of my co workers had it done and she said she was ready to come back after 5 days. I'm going to use the entire three weeks of FLMA. I'm going to have my knee scoped as well.

I don't have a date yet, but I am having my gall bladder removed friday and have to wait about 6 weeks to heal. I think that puts me close to the first week in July.

I'm formerly from Md., now living in Florida. (Nevermind, I see doc is in Md., you are in Pa!)

Good luck with your cholectomy and keep me posted on your surgery date.

I am also scheduled for the first week in July. I have to do the liquid diet for a week prior to surgery. I am looking forward to losing the weight, but a bit nervous about the day to day eating stuff. I have heard that you must chew your food really well so it doesn't get stuck. Trying to get good ideas from people before surgery.

Yes, I live in PA but, will be banded in MD. I actually live 20 mins from the PA/MD state line and I prefer not to have the surgery where I work.
