Hi! I am wondering if there is anyone that has a May date set. I know my surgery should be in May but no set date.

I got my date- May 28th!!!

I went for my last appt. before surgery today. They did blood work, EKG, anestesia consult, and other stuff. It's all done now. May 4 is just a few days away. I am planning on leaving the hospital the same day as surgery. There's just nothing like sleeping in your own bed!

Welcome and remember April showers bring May flowers!

Looks Great Anne... Thank you!

Thank you and I totally agree... It has been showering here all April so I am looking forward to the beauty that May will bring. :biggrin:

Hi! I am wondering if there is anyone that has a May date set. I know my surgery should be in May but no set date.

OMG! I am also from West Columbia. It really is a small world. I am having my surgery on May 3rd with Dr. Hollis from True Results in Houston. Lets keep in touch!

Hi there,

I'm new to the site and will be banded May 5. Can't wait and also can't believe all the emotions I'm feeling..........

Hi everyone! I have a May 18th band date! I want to echo what others have said and say that I am excited and nervous. I am afraid of failing, of getting "stuck", of complications, etc. On the other side, I am excited that this tool will help me on my life-long struggle with weight. I met with the psychologist at the surgeon's office and he said, based on my psychological profile, that I have a "high potential" that this surgery will be very effective. That definitely increased my confidence level! Thank you for all your support and stories!

I am an x-ray tech and Fluoroscopy is a method used to see the port. It is the use of live x-rays. It aides the dr. so as to not poke you and miss. With Fluoroscopy, they can see right where the opening of the port is.The liquid used to fill the band is usually saline. Good luck.

I got my date :eek: I have surgery May 13th at 5:10. Getting nervous.

Hi EVERYONE! I am gtting banded May 10th! Start my pre-op diet on Monday! YAY for all of us!!!

Just wanted to join the parade. My date is May 19th. I'm getting banded at Beth Israel in Boston, MA by Dr. Schneider. Any other Massachusetts folks with a May date out there?

I'm excited for everyone, and also a bit anxious for myself. Which I suppose is normal. The reality really hits you once you have a date, eh?

Good luck all and keep updating this thread so we can see how those of you with early May dates are doing post-surgery. Also any tips/encouragement on sticking to the pre-op diet are always welcome as well. Mine starts May 4th....

Oh, almost forgot - I'm the other guy in this thread apparently, so Biker Jon, you are not alone!

I am glad to be on a coed forum here, though I do have to say that the guys would probably go with something like "May Marauders". I bet I can count on one hand the number of times Biker Jon and I have said the word "Magificents!" in our lifetimes...:-)

Hi everyone - I'm Amy and my surgery date is scheduled for May 19th, 2010. So excited and nervous all at the same time!!!
