I love that some of the post op'ers name their band. I have been putting some thoughts into naming my new band (to arrive on Thursday, Feb 7th...so excited). I don't really have anything that seems to stick or have a nice ring. How did you all come up with your cute and clever names?

My Mom past away 4 years ago of ovarian cancer and when something has happened in my life that smacks me upside my head, I always say..."thanks Mom". Don't they always know best? Is calling my band "Mom" creepy? Can you tell I miss her .

Have a great weekend!

My mom has been gone since 2009.... I miss her just as much as i did the fist year...just differently.....so I get that. If you want to name your band Mom then go for it. It's kinda like... You were carried by her for 9 months and now you are carrying her with you always. Nothing wrong with that.

My band doesn't have a name but I do refer to it as my permanant reminder of a temporary feeling.

Thank you for that! I never thought about it that way. The band is a physical "thing" I will be holding close to my heart......right next to the spirit of my Mom. I am certain she will take the whole process over and make me wildly successful! That's how she rolled!

I've never heard of anyone naming their band! That's hilarious! I'm so sorry for your loss! There is nothing as important and influential in a woman's life then her mother! A bond that I can tell is even there after her passing! As far as naming it, maybe it's like a baby. Before they are born you think you've picked out the perfect name, then once they're here it just doesn't fit! Maybe you need to wait for "the day" ! I haven't always said nice things to my band! LOL...Good Luck on the 7th. I will be thinking of you and saying a prayer for an easy surgery and a quick recovery!

FYI.....The docs office was bragging about you the other day (not using your name of course) but nonetheless it was you. Thank you for befriending me through the journey. You are soo inspirational. xoxxox.

I think Mom is an excellent name. When your band gives you trouble, you can't come on here and cuss your band.lol

And every success it will be Thanks mom.

New life, new you, mom would want to share it with you.

I call mine "Pop-UP" because every time I bend over the darn thing pops up. hugs

i agree lassie, how are you hon?

My granddaughter (she is almost 7) she wanted to name my band, so she did "Bandilla" She doesn't like her very much she says, LOL

I really liked what Floridays said about how your Mom carried you for 9 months, and you will carry her always. That was really deep and touching. I am very lucky to have my Mom around, we are very close and only 16 years apart. She is super supportive and couldn't be happier for me having this surgery. She tells me all the time how brave I am to have had it done.

I know your Mom would feel the same way....

Made me think of Bandzilla!!! Too funny!!! Leave it to kids to come up with this stuff! :-)

I hadn't really thought about this...

I named my lil roomba vacuum Pierre cuz I wanted a French maid. Lol. Guess I'll have to research famous chef names as my band does tell me what I'll be eating.
