Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

You all are crossing over to bandland today!~ Good Luck!

Everyone whose surgery date is today--My thoughts and prayers are with you-may everything go well!!

Hello all of my fellow Feb bandsters!... I'm four days out and still pretty sore around my port area. I haven't had pain med since my second day out so it's not that bad. I think I have gas/bloatness more today than any. The surgery date comes and it's goes and If you have searched this out enough you know your doing the right thing even though I'm always second guessing myself. I have lost 16 lbs as of this morning and don't have much of an appetite. Good Luck to all of you! See you on the other side. :clap2:

Glad to hear you are doing well for the most part wanna be thin. Like you said I do second guess myself to make sure that I am doing the right thing. I still haven't told my parents. Plan on telling them today i hope. I don't plan on telling anyone--i'm really a private person. I know that i will get to a point that i will share-but not today.

I don't really have much to hide, but sometimes I wish I wouldn't have told everyone. Really the only people I told was family and friends, but we live in a small town and it spread fast. Most people seem happy for me and want to know my experience. I'm sure there are some out there watching ever move just waiting on me to mess up..... but o'well..... That's life. I came back to work on Monday after having the surgery on Friday so I couldn't see myself hiding much there. I'm sure everyone could tell I was walking a little stiffer. Good luck to you and it's your choice.

Hi all. I am new to all this and just wanted to say hello to all the February bandsters. I too will be having my surgery this month on the 15th. The support here is great and I will continue receiving and giving as my journey progresses.

Just one question. I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere, but can anyone give any suggestions on a low-cal protein shake that tastes somewhat okay. I haven't bought any yet, for fear they will be disgusting.

Good luck to everyone out there who is beginning their new life this month.

Hello! Good luck to all of the Feb. bandsters. I have been on this website daily for several months now. I finally decided to take control of my life and I have scheduled surgery with Dr. Ortiz on Feb.19th. Thank you to all of the people who share their stories so openly, it really gave me the courage to DO something. Good luck to everyone!

Hi All,

Wow, this thread moves at lightning speed. I've been off for a couple of days so I just caught up. It is good to see so many on the other side doing so well. :clap2:

Mom2miracleprin, Babygrl1234, Mel07 happy banding day!

Good Journies to all,

Terri
