Hello all,

How many people are getting banded in May 2006? I plan to be banded in Boston.

hey Mayers!!!

I have just been put on 2 protein shakes a day and a small dinner....

Hey, I'm joining this group!! I wanted to earlier, but wanted to wait on a solid date. I will be banded May 26th at noon!! My bday is the 31st, so I was hoping to be banded b4 that date. Looks like a lot of you are in the beginning of May.....guess I'll be one of the bandsters to bring up the rear!!

This is a great group and I'm proud to be part of it!!!

Is there anyone else with a bday in May?

I am being banded on May 4th!!!!!!! And a little nervous.

Angie,

I think we are all some what nervous. But we as a team / group will get over these fears as one by one we lay down and receive our bands from May 1-May 31 From ocean to ocean!!!

Will I'm glad to see more joining the May band group, Angie you and I have the same date. 3loves I"m glad you final got your date. How exciting! and before your birthday. May 4th. will be my new BIRTHDAY!

Wow Our little May group is certainly gaining numbers.

Welcome to all those new members, wish I was still May 5th instead of May 26th LOL I want mine done and over with the rest of you.

Is there anyone else with a bday in May?

Me! Me! On the 29th. Unfortunately, this birthday involves a ZERO:help:

:clap2: I'm in too!

My surgery date is May 12th. I have my pre-op assesment on May 4th ( my Birthday )

Another appointment tomorrow. I should know how long I will be on the liquid diet. I am gettig nervous thinking about the procedure, but the info I am getting from this board is really helping.

Good luck to all the May-ers.I hope we can keep in touch with our progress.

I'm in the May group too:clap2:

I'm scheduled for May 17th in Mississauga, Ontario with Dr. Cobourn at 8:00am. My liquid diet will start two weeks prior and I'm already for it. My husband is excited for me too. He's the type of guy that eats and eats and doesn't gain a pound...how does he do it:confused: But he is encouraging me all the way:)

Looking foward to hearing about everyone and their experiences.

(PS - my ticker worked!!!):nervous

:wow2: It's great to see so many getting their band in May. This is a great group. We have a lot to share and learn from each other. And how about those May bdays to boot? I can't think of a better bday present. :biggrin1:

I wish everyone the best and look forward to getting to know all of you better. :clap2:

Just wanted to see if my ticker works.

I will be home late tomorrow so I will update everyone (about the pre-op diet, etc) on Wednesday.

Stay positive:)

Its a numbing feeling to see the numbers, especially the amount I want to lose. No where to go but down!!!!

Steady and slow is the way to go

Hi,

I'm Linda and I will be banded by Dr. Anderson in Boise, Idaho on Monday morning May1st.

I can't wait to start this journey with my new partner--my band!

Good luck to all of you!

Linda

What is the amount of weight that most "Mayers" want to lose. I want to lose about 200 pounds and that will be about 12 inches off my waist!!! I am focused!!

Well what I want to lose and what is physically possible isn't the same :heh: lol

If I had a choice I would weigh 120 again BUT then I would look sick so Im aiming for 150 - attainable and healthy at 5'7"; haven't even thought about how many inches - now Seminole you gave me something new to think about

</P>

Having 4 children certainly did a number on my body but that's my excuse I used, oh that and being on bed rest for 6-7 months, and a separated pelvis, Endometrosis, Adenomyosis, kidney problems....list goes on and on...

I've lost 29 lbs so far, waiting on my doctor to release me to have the band.
