. Congratulations to all of you bunch of LOSERS!!

Thanks, Marie, I LOVE being called a loser, really! Who'd a thought?! hehe

Hey April Bandsters!! How is everyone today!! Kathy your day is just about here! Im so happy for you.

Yesterday I started my Low-Carb diet and I think I gained 2lbs LOL ahhh my body is probably having a fit that im putting it on a diet again.. I wish i could lose 10lbs but I will be happy if I lose 5lbs before surgery! the 1 week before surgery I have to be on a liquid diet so I will lose there. So is anyone else going on a diet before surgery??

Take Care

Hi Everyone!

Its been awhile since I've posted, but I have finally got a date! April 26th, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with Dr. Williams. I can't believe that this is for real! Good Luck fellow April Bandsters!! Can't wait to see how different we will be next April!

Congrats Nora! You are on the list!

i think i am late joining this topic and i also posted elsewhere.. but just in case..

My surgery is April 15th in Mesquite with Dr. Wade Barker.

He is really nice and i tend to flirt with him... is that bad?

I have no idea if he is single or not.. but... he is in my age range and he is a surgeon after all... this could work out in more ways than one.. if you know what i mean!!

haha

anyway... i am in for April!

Hi Trish S and all,

I have to say that Iam putting on evey day...What the hell I am 100% sure that Iam going to loose so I have been having all the things I have been having in moderation and enjoying as I won't have the chance again. The best thing is I know I won't have them so I enjoy and am happy to say a some what good bye.I have even started riding my bike everwhere so when all the nosey mother marfias at the school start to notice the weight loose I shall be able to hold my head up high and lie.Yes lie through my teeth.It's the bike riding doing it.As they all think that if you don't put lots of sweat and tears into weight lose you don't deserve credit.But to you all like myself we all know it's going to be hard the longerst I have only ever had liquids is on a 24hr drinking bing,so the thought for 6 weeks terrifies me .Iam sure that will be harder than any going to gym and working out.The only thing the gym has brought me is three pregnancies and 4 children.Thats right I start at the gym and fall pregers.

Good luck guys and when you are haveing all those liquids just thinks there are loads of us out there with you learning to enjoy being slimmer,

All the best Annette

I'm APRIL 27TH!!! (2 days after my 22nd bday!)

Did anyone have to do that test where they shove a LONG tube thru your nose and down into your esophogas? I think it was called the Esophogeal mamotry or something? THAT WAS SOOOO HORRIBLE!!!

I start my pre-op diet on the 13th... wish me luck!

WHAT? i had no nose tubie things... that sounds aweful! ewewew

wow you are 22!! congrats on getting this early. maybe we can finally enjoy our twenties the way they were meant to be!

yippee!!

I have my surgery April 20, 2005. I am happy to be added to the list

I go in for appt. on the 12th and then either 20th or 21st for banding. I have alot of questions and have been searching this site often since I got the banding date on Thursday. This is a great idea, I hope I can do all this stuff, I'm alittle ok alot nervous about this. My question list is getting longer!!

I'm new to this forum and am having my band placed by Dr. Kuri on April 29th. Wish me luck!
