I thought a public poll may be a good way of keeping everyone's dates straight.

* Please DO NOT respond to the poll if your surgery is not in March 2010.

Welcome!

Great news Stargate. I was pushed from January to March. The 6 weeks flew by though and March has a better group than January. Just kidding.

Girl55, don't think of it as d-day. It is V-Day!!

this just makes me laugh..haha

My surgery is tomorrow - 3/9/10

this just makes me laugh..haha

What is funny?

The results of the poll are public. Click Here

The survey was created so that we could see who is having surgery in March and which day, in order to comfort them and wish them luck.

We have 71 responses so far and and I think there is just 1 that shouldn't be there.

oh sorry left that part out...the march group name and picture..don't know why just does. no offense just that big name and big picture....just struck my funny bone :biggrin:

No offense taken. I just want to clarify what the poll is for and hope that others are using it to send their good wishes and prayers to those having surgery soon.

The banner is big as to not be missed

Hi everyone...I too am being banded tomorrow (9am). Can't wait!

Recently banded on March 5th,so I am deffinently new to this. So far so good, I feel great.

Hi. My first post :wub: My surgery date is March 19th, in Las Vegas. Excited and a little nervous....of course.

Sharon

Congrats, Sharon! Excited is good - the nervous is also good. I'm only 4 days post-op and believe me -you'll be very happy you did this!

Blessings and peace -

Hi, I am 10 days post-op. No more gas pain and feel pretty good. Still some soreness in port, which is sticking out. Doc said its suppose to go down. Since yesterday I don't have much restriction. I'm still eating mashed up stuff or I put it thru food prosessor.I am getting hungry in between meals, too. My first fill is April 5th and I'm afraid of gaining back what I've lost so far.

Howdy folks,

Well, tomorrow is the last day of March. Congratulations to those that have had surgery and good luck to those tomorrow.

This was an open survey and gives the names of everybody that replied. I will try to get some sort of spreadsheet together so we can track each others progress.

Bob

Sounds like a wonderful idea!! Please include me!

btrieger, well done for coming up with this fab idea!!! Just wanted to wish everyone in our group the very best of success as we all go forward together!! I was only banded last Sat

Hi! I'm a little late to the game. I had my surgery on March 15th in Jacksonville Florida. I have only just found this site. Where were you all months ago when I needed you!:smile2: I just wanted to say that I am loving reading all of the comments advise and so on.....loving it so much I can't get any work done:rolleyes2:.
