Any July Bandsters out there?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm Maggie from Cincinnati. Dr. Trace Curry is doing my band on July 20th. I meet with his office on June 29 to do the pre-op tests and get the liquid diet supplies to use for the 2 weeks before the surgery.

Anyone else getting ready for surgery in July? Are you nervous? I'm actually not. I feel really great about this decision and have no second thoughts. I'd love to hear from you!:confused:

Hey there! July 20th as well with Dr. Curry!!! I have an 8am start time that morning, how about you?

Woo Hoo!!!! I'm so glad that we connected on here!!! Mine is in the morning too. I think my surgery might be before yours. I have to be there at 7:00 and the surgery is at 8:30. But we should be in the pre-op together. We can help keep each other from being nervous!

I'm Maggie and I look forward to talking to you!

Nice to meet you Maggie I'm Jessica and I'm sure we'll be seeing each other pre and post-op :blink:. I actually have to be there at 630 since my surgery starts at 8 so it looks like we're back to back!

Jessica,

That's great news! I know that we'll have to be there a few hours afterwards too. They'll have us up and walking. Maybe we can walk the halls together.

Jessica and Maggie, I'm jealous! It's awesome that y'all will kind of know each other going into this. I wish I knew someone who I would be going through this with, but NO ONE seems to post on our local thread. Apparently I'm the only one in my area that has heard of the Internet. :tongue_smilie:

Maggie,

Hi! My name is Susan. Dr. Curry is doing my surgery on Aug. 3rd. I would LOVE to talk to you and have someone who is going thru the same thing around the same time as me to compare stories with. Let me know how things are going please! I am excited, but a little nervous too. I am also self-pay:thumbdown: which my husband is not thrilled about, but I have to do this for me! susan:smile2:

July 2nd. I have 2 more days before I start with the 2-week diet. Not looking forward to it mainly because I eat lunch with my coworkers almost everyday and I just don't have a good excuse to tell them what I am doing. Moreso, its really not any of their business.

Hey mgmagnolia and 1hotchocolate my date is pretty close to yours. Surgery date set for 7/23 with Dr. Kirshenbaum. I'm self pay too! I'm just anxious and ready to get going. I will be on a low carb diet 10 to 7 days prior to surgery so i'm guessing that shouldn't be so bad. Right now I feel like July can't get here soon enough!

Hey... I'm being banded by Dr. K on the 22nd! (I was scheduled for tomorrow, 6/17, but I had to cancel due to an undiagnosed rash.) I've already done the 14 day pre-op. Need to figure out how I'll handle the next month (eat?, 35 more days of low carb?, something else then 14 days of low carb?).

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
