I had a mandatory seminar I have to attend on September 25th before I get my surgery date......but it looks like it could be an October date. Find out next Friday! Congrats to all you October Bandees!!

I am soooo excited!!!! Yesterday my doctor told me that I will have surgery on October 14th. Then they sent me to the hospital for blood work and an EKG. That's it! Now I just have to show up on the 14th... I started the process in April and it seemed like this day would never come. Good luck to all of you!

I got my surgery date today - I'll be banded on October 22nd! I'm very excited, but also a bit nervous knowing this month is going to FLY by!

I just confirmed today with Dr. Lopez Corvala's office in Tijuana. My date is set for the 3rd of Oct. I can truly say I have done my homework and am confident I am getting the best out of pocket deal with the best surgeon.

I'm 34, about 195lbs so my BMI is approx. 30-31.

Anyone else have an Oct 3rd date?

I am scheduled for 10-1 too. at 7:30 AM.

My preop is only 1 day of liquids. I started this process with a different surgeon and theirs was a 10 day super lean 1000 cal diet. I want to make sure that my liver looks good when they open me up so plan to do the 10 day thing and then the liquids like my new doc. wants.

I am off to create my Tickers!!

Any ideas for an October Bandster name?

I got my call yesterday that my surgery is scheduled for October 8th. I start the pre-op diet the 25th. I'm excited but the reality is starting to set in. I know it won't be easy and reading the posts here I feel like I have a better idea just how hard it will be. Glad to know there are people who are going through the same thing.
