Anyone? Am I The Only One In April?

I'm all set for April 2nd and ready to learn as much as I can from everyone here!

I have so many questions, I don't even know where to start. Just wanted to post how exciting this is for me.

Feel like I'm finally taking control.

43 days and counting.

How do I attach the weight tracker on here?

Scorpio I think starting the group would be a good idea. It also expands the date so we can get more joiners. Even though i do think we have a great start to a great group of ppl. As for the 6 weeks to get into good habits. I eat worse when i am off work then when i am at work. I think its not having time to eat then. I figure if i am at work during the liquid stage will keep me to busy to think of being hungry. Least thats my hope. I am scared if i sit here I will have way to much time on my hands to think of not eating.

I hope our little group grows. I posted it in March, April and May's forum but if you know anyone, please suggest the group. I'm thinking I'll need all the support I can get.

36 days and counting!

Heyyy, you are not the only one. I am actually scheduled for April 3. Feeling nervous and excited all at once. Any pre-op advice, anyone?

Hi Band-Tastic <<great name

Jump over to the "Springers" group and join there. We combined March April & May into one group so we would have more to share.

If you have any problems finding us, let me know.

Friday April 6th! Soooo excited. And very nervous that I will fail and will be really embarrassed and ashamed.

Hey everyone, Can I join the group? My surgery date is April 12th =)

Welcome chunkygirl! My surgery is April 2. Where do u live?

So, when does everyone start their pre-op diet? I start Monday! It's stressing me out!

Hey everyone! Just got my surgery date today for April 6th.

Hey Mel! Welcome!

April 23 here! Just got my date yesterday. Kinda sad that it's not sooner, was supposed to be march 28 but insurance said I have to wait until 12 weeks is up.

Thank u tahnee....

I know the feeling kerra......I had to do the whole 6 month thing. I called my dr office a few days before my last appt and the told me that my insurance was not requiring the 6 months supervised diet plan anymore. Talk about disappointment! But I don't regret it at all because I really learned a lot from it. Congrats on ur surgery date tho!!!

Yay! There are finally more April bandsters!

Chunkygirl- you and everyone are more than welcome to join the group. If you search for Springers under the groups tab you can join from there. It's an open group.

BTW- someone from the March bandsters said April ones were not as fun. As if!

As if!!!

Look for the "Springers" group under the group tab at the top of the page. Loving all the info and support over there and EVERYONE is welcome!

Hi guys, getting banded April 5th so excited and nervous.. I have been reading so much info and making sure I'm ready for this lifetime commitment. Can't wait, how long has everyone taken off of work for?? Hope I will be okay, have a very active 3 year old son.
