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?

Dini, make my poms PURPLE and you've got a deal!! Oh yeah, I'm not even looking forward to the first poo. I finally passed a small amount of gas today since I've been burping a lot, and it wasn't nice.

I didn't get stitches. I was glued, and then they put this dressing over top of it that will eventually fall off. And I just counted and I have 5 incisions. Different Dr.s do things diferently. I got a 4cc band, and I know there are other sizes out there too. No fill yet, have to wait a month. I just made my 2 week post op appointment for July 17.

Sunny, so sorry to hear your "Aunt Flo" died, but you're probably ok with that aren't you!!!

dmtjet, I know I'm not allowed in the pool or a bath for 2 weeks, but ask your Dr. I didn't think I could take a shower for 3 days, but that's where I'm headed right now because they said I could shower today.

I am so proud of you!!!! You are an amazing lady! You'll keep us all optimistic and on the upbeat!!!!! Thanks for being so sweet! It is soooo nice to hear that you are doing so well!

I'm gonna go lay down for a few...I'll check back w/ya'll later! :bored

dmtjet, thanks for the kind words.

Nighty, night, chimboree. Sleepy good!!

ah Fustrated your too sweet thank you!

Chimboree matey i too love pedicures but over here there so expensive its like 60 euro for a crap one and 75 euro (80-100$$) for something some what decent. now although i'm not struggling money wise i defo can't afford that too ofter along with gel nails too!

Lucia Maria that is a fab name is that your actual name?

oh oh who's getting there nails done i can't re,e,ber but i'm totally up for the idea of a clover and or a 7. and if anyone wants a constant reminder of ME you can always just get Dini written on your nail art, (just a suggestion, but do keep it in mind)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

incase you haven't gotten my humour i'm only joking, love you all

night night Chimboree, sweet clean dreams!

Lynette ok you can have Purple, but your upsetting the clover lucky 7 thing! clovers being green and all. but cos its you purple it is !!!!!

yea, doctors do things totally different each on to there own! also i hear the band type also has an effect on the about of incisions ...

i'm outtie for a while, got to go home, make the dinner ect.......... so i'l talk to you all tonight.....

i'm thinking of you all xx

Dini girl, you are too funny. I'm getting mine done later in the week. Maybe I'll have IRISH DINI written acrossed 9 of my nails, and put the 4 leaf clover with the 7 in it on the last nail!! How's that sound?

Or maybe I'll choose ten Lucky 7's and have their name painted on each nail. Then if I do my toes, I can choose 10 more!! Just kidding!!

Well, I'm heading to the shower. I think it's time. Then I'm going to get out of the house and walk around the block a few time. I'll check back in later.

Dini--That's ridiculous for a pedicure to be so much!!! In So Cal, they only cost that much in Beverly Hills or some expensive spa, but everywhere else they're about $20, maybe $25.

Ronik, my darling if it cost only 25$ i would be getting them every week & would have the prettist feet of all the land!! mind you if pedicures are that cheap i'm sure everything else is. Jesus i would pamper myself all the time. Then god love everyone i'd be a cocky demom. Letsw just say it probably best i can't pamper myself everyweek, i'd have the biggest head ever!

Lynette sugar if you want my name on your nails you go girl i promise i wont ask you to take it off!!

on a more serious note i'm not feeling the support off Adam (my partner) he thinks he's being really helpful but to be honest he's totally not. Even little call or txt to see how i am but he ALWAYS as an excuse why he didn't.. eg he didn't want to bother me, he taught i wouldn't answer my phone in the doctor ...lalalalalala

hope everyone is well. x

Okay...Here it is. The most recent calendar. Please let me know if I've missed you or if there are any other corrections.

If I did miss you, I'm sorry...It really wasn't intentional!

Thanks Chimboree for adding me to this calender. I'm so excited about becoming a healtyh father and husband I wish everyone in this group the best of luck. Danny

Hey Dini. I go every 2 weeks...I LOVE it! Oh, I'm gonna have to hold myself back as the wt comes off. Don't get me wrong, I'm not conceited, but I do have a healthy sense of esteem (go figure). Even as a plus-sized woman, I've always taken care of myself. I just don't want to go overboard as the wt comes off. Just being honest. I know I'm gonna be a hottie jalottie!

As for Mr. Adam...maybe he's having a hard time dealing w/this b/c he knows you're beautiful already, have a great personality, and he's scared what's gonna happen once you start losing wt. Maybe he's worried you'll start getting more attention from men and that scares him. Maybe he's upset that you'll no longer be attracted to him. I'd talk to him about. I'd have to. That's just me. I like to get stuff out on the table. No sense in letting it fester. I'm sorry he's not being as supportive as you would like.

Dini, I'm sorry you're not feeling support from Adam.:cry I know this will be my DH in a few days, but I do think they care, maybe they just don't understand the support we want.:straight They should have a support thread for spouses, partners, etc. and I think there is one, but would they go??

They probably won't be able to get us off the computer so they can get on. HA-HA.:biggrin1:

Don't be afraid to tell him what kind of support you need, or that you want. Remind him you are doing this for yourself, as well as your family.

Best of Luck to you. Hope things get better.

You're welcome! We're glad to have a male among the group. We had a couple others, but we haven't heard from them in a while. Just look away from the screen when we're talking about all the 'feminine stuff'. LOL.

Lynette and Chimboree thank you.

Look at the way i post here, if something pops into my head i say it and i'm the same with Adam if there is something bothering me i'll say it just as much if i've great news i'll say that too! He thinks there's nothing wrong he thinks he's being a great support. ah i dont know. like you guys saw the pic of him he's a hottie why would i wanna look at anyone else, anyways i'm doing this of course for me but for all three of us, so i'm healthy and i'll be around longer. this is as much for him as it is for Annafrancesca. ah i'm sure it will sort its self out..

chimboree you are totally right, about looking after yourself there are a lot of big people out there that think cos there big why both. that really annoys me
