I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Today was my first day back at work since surgery. It wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon, I felt pain where my port is but that's it.

The problem I did have was I got so busy working that I'd forget to drink. 20 - 30 minutes would go by and I'd see my bottle sitting there so then instead of sipping, I'd take a gulp and pay for it with discomfort for a few minutes.

I'm seriously thinking of putting a pop up reminder on my computer every 5 minutes to take a sip of water. That way I won't forget.

I love the computer pop up idea. I always forget too, and live by my computer agenda... so this would help.

MERCI MY FRIEND

I'M OF TO BED

EVERONE BEST OF LUCK FOR TOMORROW NIGHT NIGHT

Lynette, my dentist is like your doctor, my lord he is HOTT! i'm lying in that chair looking at him blues eyes, ahhhhhhhhhh my lord! i can't wait to go to the dentist when i've lost my weight, had my boob job and tummy tuc! ah yeah he's gonna look weather he likes it or not!!!

I've gone to get laser hair removal on my upper lip and chin. The doctor at the clinic is so beautiful, I suddenly find myself looking for more hair that needs removal !!!! He's new to Canada, from Czechslovacia (spelling off), so his English is hard to follow. I DON'T CARE... He could be telling me anything... doesn't matter, just talk and let me look at you!!!

Chimboree... good luck tomorrow!!!! You've been waiting so patiently for your turn. I'm right behind you. See you in bandland!!!:whoo:

Go chimmy, it's your BANDDAY, we're gonna party like it's you BANDDAY!!!LOL, I'm sooooo excited for you to finally be getting this done.

...

Yay!!! I'm gonna party like it's my BANDDAY!!! LOL. I hear the 50 Cent song playing in the background! haha. I am too excited. Just talked to my mom and dad about what time to meet at my house to pick me up. :omg: Can we say butterflies???

Chimboree... good luck tomorrow!!!! You've been waiting so patiently for your turn. I'm right behind you. See you in bandland!!!:whoo:

Wow. This time tomorrow night, I will be a part of the Band!!! And then it's your turn.

Icybreeze,

On the potatoes, my Dr. doesn't like carbs period, so no fruits, no potatoes, nothing that you would normally want to put in a blender to try to turn into a shake or mushy. That's probably why I haven't had a day yet where I've consumed even 600 calories since two days before my surgery. So, it's been ten days since I've had anything more substantial than soup, jello, and protein shakes.

To All,

My bubble bath was fantastic last night, so I took another one tonight. How I missed those this past week. I've changed my mind and decided that maybe my port is directly under the big incision rather than below it, not sure if that's how it is or not. I had thought I felt it a little lower. I've got more soreness today than the past two days for some reason. Perhaps because of working all day again. No energy with this few calories to work out. Work pretty much takes it out of me.

QUESTION - How many of y'all were private pay like me? Insurance doesn't like to cover this surgery unless you're over a certain BMI and have co=morbidities, so I lost out on both fronts. Still think it will be worth every cent in the long run!

You guys are so funny w/the hot doc stories!!!! Wish I could find a nice single one...

Oh yeah, guess who showed up for tomorrow??? Aunt Flo! She was to s'posed to be here last week. I purposefully changed my birth control patch to make sure she wasn't here during surgery, but nooooo...oh well.

It's all of your faults (except the men). You know how they say women who hang together get their cycles in sync??? Well so many of you had your Aunt Flow during surgery, so I couldn't help but follow suit. LOL!

BTW, Dear Aunt Flo came for a visit... 1 week early, just in time for my surgery. Aren't I the lucky one :frusty:

This is too weird. When you were posting your's I was posting mine... with the same info. It must be the female "In Sync" band !!
