I am scheduled for May



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for May 8th in Kalamazoo, MI.

I can't wait. I went out two months from now so my employer would approve it. I have been working on this for 12 months and now BCBS of MI changed the medical visits to only 6 months recently. At least others won't have to wait so long to have the surgery.

I am reading alot on these forums so I will be well prepared. It is so different for everyone and even I read that the pre-op and post-op is so different per doctor. I am so excited to finally have a TOOL that is promising to help me.

Well congrats on that. It won't be much longer for you. I was banded 1-7-8 so am pretty new to all this. I have not had my first fill yet but will next week. I am down 30 lbs. now. I am so glad i made the decision to have this done. I feel so much better just losing 30lbs. I still have about 76 to go but now I know for the first time in my life that I will get there. The surg was a breeze. Best wishes to you.

I am hoping with some information I get in the next few days that I will be able to schedule my surgery for May. I had a thought about a name for the group to consider.... May Miracles ? Just a thought! :tea:

I am so happy to have other May banders with me. I am anxious for this to happen and can't wait. Crystal, wow same May 8th surgery. We will have alot to talk about. I will think of a cool name for May also. "May Miracles" sounds good so far.

Members of the BBB: Blooming Bandster Buddies :smile2:

So far we have:

- Magnificient Mays

- May Miracles

If anyone likes the BBB we can add it to our list. I'm stil thinking of others, though. Really, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, I'm just obsessed until I get my band and cannot help myself! :sad:

Hey everyone!

I am scheduled for May 6th with Dr. Hart in Atlanta, GA. It seems I'm the earliest so far...I'll have to be the May guinea pig! :biggrin2: It's good to know that there are others around my surgery date, we'll all be healing, learning, and shrinking together!

I like the May Miracles but I look forward to hearing everyone's suggestions and voting as we get closer!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
