Hello Annette! How much are you wanting to lose? There is Tons of information here. I will be getting banded 1 day after you hehehe Best Wishes.. Take Care

Thanks Trish and all other banders..As like everyone else I have been visiting this site for some time.Iam not very good with pounds as we were brought up with Kgs.Working on 2.2 pounds to the kg I need too loose approx 30kg.If not more if I could.I know it is successful as a very close friend of mine has lost 70kg in the last two years.Iam very proud of her as without hasrd work the last 10kgs wouldn't have come off that easily.I have decided not to tell anyone other than DH, mum and my close friend.Some will guess as I spoke about it last year and got a earfull from the..But I decided that Iam a grown up and don't have to justify my self to anyone.WOW It has taken along time to just get that far.

Best of luck and I look forward to seeing our progress....

Congratulatins to the April bandsters !!!!!!

I will be banded on April 7th. Im getting so excited..

Yay Brenda! I have you on the list, post #20 in this thread which is what Christina quoted above...so glad you checked in and keep us posted on how everything goes for you! Thursday's a comin'!!!!

I know how you feel about being scared and excited all in one. I should be a old pro at surgery. This will be my 6th surgery in 5 years.... It all started when I turned 30 boy did I fall apart.

Here's my surgery list....

Oct 29th 2001...Rectocile & bladder repair,

June 20th 2002...Left knee,

Dec 15th 2002...Left knee,

June 16th 2004...NovaSure(nice name for a DNC),

Aug 18th 2004...Hysterectomy,

April 7th 2005...Banded

I sure hope getting this weight off my bones will make my knee's feel much better, and the gravity wont be pulling everything from the inside out.

Oh my word Brenda. You will definately feel better with a big ole chunck of weight off! I think it's just the answer, particularly with knee trouble! Wow, good for you! Look for the new thread under support for this week's bandsters...sign in there and let folks wish you well!

Hey is your Dr Rumbaut in Monterrey? or someone with a similar name...I may have spelled it wrong...be sure and check before you change yours, if he's the one you are seeing. I hear it's nice in Monterrey, if that's where your headed.

Hi Kathy,

OOPS!!! You spelled it right and I have fixed mine. Yes, Dr. Rambaut is the one in Monterrey. Im headed there Wed the 6th... I leave Phoenix at 5:30 a.m. do all my pre op testing that day and have surgery at 9:00 a.m. on the 7th and come home the 9th.

Okay, Brenda, keep us posted on the "Banded This Week" thread. Look under the Support Forum and you'll see it and your name on the list for this coming week. I'll be looking for you! I get back on the 9th also. Happy Band-day!!

Good Luck to ALL the April Bandsters for this week in April... You are all in my thoughts and prayers... Best Wishes to all of you and please post here to let us know how you are doing

.... KATHY.. After you banded.. I hope you dont give us on this thread.. hehehe I would miss you way to much!! (((((((hugs))))))))) Take Care

No way Jose! Your band date is right after mine!!! You get LOTS of cheerleading, don't worry! The May bandsters are the ones who need to worry, cuz after April is done, I'm back to my normal thing...it's too much to keep up...there are 11 bandsters this week alone!!!! And I thought we'd have maybe 6 or 7 for the month. HA! I won't drop the ball don't worry!

Editing: hey Trish, have you seen the "This Week's Bandsters" threads? There are two so far under support like this one. I lumped...

April 19, is Banding day for me, In Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Wow, what a wonderful list of men and women regaining their lives! Best of luck to each and every one of you! May God guide the surgeon's hands and your recovery be quick and easy. Please come back and let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it. Congratulations to all of you bunch of LOSERS!!

Hey Brissiebabe! You are already on the list! See Post #20 in this thread. Yay for you!!! Isn't it great to be an April Band-baby?!!!
