I am scheduled for May 19th and plan to take 8 days off, returning after the Memorial Day holiday. I am looking forward to relaxing at home after the surgery. I have had a C-Section and agree that the sooner you get up and moving the better...but I plan to enjoy the quiet time away from work! :thumbup: Plus, I would much rather deal with the gas pains at home, than at work.

Thank you for posting this! I can't wait to be where you are! I wish you continued success! :biggrin2:

I want to go one hour without thinking what my next meal/snack/treat is going to be! I want to be able to wear a size 10 $300 designer jeans, a cute t-shirt and a pair of HOT sandals. I want to have the energy to clean my house without taking 15 breaks. The list really goes on and on

through the weekend sounds great! They are all great, so which ever one we pick will be fabulous!

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you Allison! Sending some positive thoughts your way for a date in MAY!! :ohmy:

ok, I'm having waaaaay too much fun with this! :sneaky: Here is my new favorite!

Here is another - tell me what you think!

Hi everyone! I was playing around with logos too...Here is my first take! BUT I couldn't figure out how to make this an actual pic file (image):tongue: so...I had to take a picture of it :thumbup:... But - this is fun! can't wait until we settle on a name and logo!

LOVE IT Jessica! Thanks for doing that! The personalization is awesome! :biggrin:

Hi everyone! My name is Lexy, I'm 28 from PA. My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Pupkova at Barix Clinics in Langhorne. This journey has had it's ups and downs with my insurance denying my first claim. I held on and never gave up and am finally approved and scheduled. :cursing: I am happily married and have 2 wonderful children, ages 8 and 5. I am an administrator at a Fortune 500 Company - I love what I do, but enjoy being a mom and wife above all! I currently have a BMI of 44. I am 5'7 and weigh 280-something. :biggrin: I have been overweight all of my life, but OBESE since after giving birth to my son 8 years ago. I am ready to finally shed this weight and get my health under control. I have high blood pressure with a family history of heart disease and diabetes. I refuse to start my 30's OBESE and out of control with my weight and eating. I am sick of being complimented with, "You have a pretty face." I am ready to have the HOT BODY to go with it! This was a tough decision to make, but after numerous attempts at losing the weight on my own and failing, I knew I had to do something. I have a wonderful support system, one of whom is a close friend who has had the Lap Band. She has done amazingly well and has lost over 100lbs! She was my inspriation and I know with the experience that she has and is willing to share with me, I will be successful. I look forward to getting to know the May Bandsters and beginning our journey of weightloss and a healthier life together! :tongue2:

Hello everyone! I am a May bandster too. My date is May 19th! I can not until May gets here...I am just READY to be post surgery already! Congrats to everyone! I am cool with any name, but I really just like May Flowers!:cheers2:

Congratulations! I got my date yesterday! Good for you! This board is awesome.:wink2:

Every morning getting ready for work, I would ask myself - "Is today the day?" and today was the day!!!! I got the call from my surgeon's office to inform me of the approval and to schedule the surgery. I was so excited I was shaking! There was a communication mishap with the decision for me to get the Lap Band and NOT the Gastric Bypass...I quickly straightened it out. My surgeon called me tonight to confirm ONCE AGAIN that I would like the Lap Band. YES, YES, YES! I am 1000% sure that I want the Lap Band and can't wait to start my post-op journey! Thanks for listening, I just had to share! :thumbup:
