I see a few of us doing it on the 13th! It must be a very lucky day!

Good luck to all the October Bandsters...it is just around the corner for all of us.

Hi Everyone, my first post, and I have my surgery date of 10/1...in 20 days... I am soooo excited...

I am having surgery by Dr. Geiss in Syosset...I live on Long Island.. He makes his patients stay overnight and I start my liquid diet in 10 days... I am so nervous but can't wait...My husband passed away in January from cancer, at the age of 49, I am 41, we have a 13 year old son, who I need to get healthy for!!! I am motivated...although has anyone had this issue.. I find myself wanting to eat EVERYTHING in sight all of a sudden... I just lost 52lbs on my own, but want to pig out! Good Luck to October patients

Hello All!

It is great to meet you! If any of you want to become OCT 09 Band buddies you can catch me at 4girlfamily@gmail.com.

I am so excited but Oct 29th seems a lifetime away.

I am nervous but hopeful! I just really need this to be the support that I need to get myself back to the me I am in my head and heart.

I look in the mirror and dont recognize myself.

Hi Guy! Good luck! You will be on the mend when I have my surgery so I was wondering if I can pick your brain about what to expect when you are home and feeling better?

Thanks!

I just got my surgery date - October 7th. Bummer is I'll be spending 9/26 through 10/3 in Florida so will be on the pre-op diet for the whole vacation! Luckily I've been to Disney alot as we have a vaction home close by there. I didn't want to put it off longer just so I could eat at the California Grill or Le Cellier (tempted though!). My diet is either 5 Protein Drinks a day or 3 Protein drinks and 1 meal of lean meat, 1 dairy, veggies etc. so it sounds like I have more options than some but some seem to not have much pre-op diet at all. Strange how it varies. It's been just over a year to get to this point but I think it was good because I've been through getting my mind up for it and ok with the life changes this will mean. Good luck to everyone!

Absolutely. I would be more than happy to answer any questions. I wish it was that time already. I have been doing the Protein shakes in the morning and having a light lunch and dinner. I have lost almost 20lbs. in the last four weeks. I am starving, lol, but the excitement of the surgery coming keeps me on track (most of the time). Good luck. Talk to you soon.
