Hey all, saw this great thread from before about March bandits, now hoping to make contact with April bandits, i am due for surgery on April 17th, around easter time....I am 35, live in NZ, and am a flight attendant, have been researching my op for a year now, was a big decision for me.......would love to contact people my own age and operation date to perhaps share our experiences and support, hope to hear from you..................regards Fiona:clap2:

I compiled a list of dates for all of our bandings. If I forgot or overlooked anyone I am very sorry. Please add your date to this thread.

Now I wanna see some of ur pics:-) Its hard to find any "whole body" pics since I try to avoid them. As I say I look the best from my neck up:-)

whoa here we go:-) fat me in a picture, I dress much better after I saw this pic

Trying to send a photo through so you can all know me better, hope this works......(holds breath)!!!:phanvan

Amourette, you have beautiful face:-)I love the skirt! it so sad that here in CZ we have only one store with chic fat clothes and they have only one collection (like two pair of pants, few jacket, and two kinds of skirts) not like torrid:-)I wish I could go shopping from time to time to the US. Hopefully I wont need it in couple of months.

Yeah, it did, not the best standard of photo though, this was me at my cousins wedding in Australia last week, I was very subconscious of what I was wearing and my weight, so made me a bit down, but more determined when I got back that I was doing the right thing!

I actually live in new zealand and there aren't many stores here either, i wish I could sew 'cos I think it would be a great business to start up. Here all the big clothes are the same and you see them on everyone else:mad:

Why is there a wheel in the tree in your photo, hehehehe!!!!

Regards Fiona

C´mon u look beautiful!

I know the feeling when u dont know if u look ok and when someone tells u that u do, u still think that they say it from pity. Hey stop thinking like that I quit it some time ago and it damn helps:-)

Also I know that my friends and my family love me for who I am and not how I look and I bet u whatever u want that its the same with u!

U r beautiful, smart young woman!

Boy our list is getting longer and some of our April Buddies are going next week!PLEASE KEEP us posted on your recovery!!!GOD BLESS

You forgot me! My date is April 5th!!! 9 days!!!

I would love to post about how my surgery is going but I will not be home for 3 or 4 days after my surgery when i get home it will be the first thing i do. i know that immediate post op stories have been my favorites to read about. i am always encouraged by the ones who are posting their stories the same day as their surgery.

Jen,

Where will you be staying? Are you going to be with family? My mom is coming to stay with me. This should be interesting because she's my eating buddy and we both know it. She's doing First Place right now at her church so that helps and once I'm banded we've been discussing how much cheaper it will be for us to eat out. We get to share meals.

Can you believe how close our time is getting? I'm beginning to not sleep due to excitement. All I can think is "This is my last Monday night unbanded!" Gotta love these last thoughts!
