Any July Bandsters out there?

I was not banded on the 27th. I was in the hospital over the weekend for something else, a heart problem, and now I have to get that taken care of before I can be banded...if I can be banded :/

Debster I'm so sorry. If you have been sent home, the hope is you are stable enough to be there. That would hopefully mean your condition is treatable and you will be back for your band in no time.
And as hard as it is, please be a patient patient.
Please take care

I have never posted...but have enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I was banded 7/8. My husband was banded on 7/7. We are both doing great. He (being a man, no offense) has lost 2x as much as me, but the dr. told me that would happen.

Thanks to everyone for sharing! It is great to know that we have comrades out there who know what we have gone through.

My husband is a great cook (part of our weight problem-lol)---but he has been very creative with our puree foods--thank goodness. I wasn't looking forward to baby food protein.

Good wishes to those who are going to be banded soon. I wouldn't go back--it was worth it.

I was banded July 16th and so far so good. I'm having trouble getting enough calories in a day is about it. I'm about 500-600 right now at the most. I start puree foods soon so I'm looking forward to that. I'm walking everyday and I've lost about 30 lbs so far. I had about 10 lbs weight lost before surgery. I had yummy refried beans today and it tasted like heaven! Hang in there everyone, you are doing great!

Me and Hubby were banded on July 24, 2009. He had to have the Hernia taken care of too, so he is having more problems keeping the liquids down. We both had soarness in our legs, neck, and stomache. I am doing great, went back to work yesterday with no problems. Hubby stayed out for the whole week. I am so glad for this surgery because I am tired of being overly healthy (hehehe). He has lost 30lbs total (pre-op 19lbs) and I have lost 20lbs (pre-op 10lbs). I recommend this for anyone needing help/control.
