Hi gigi,

I would love to be added to your spreadsheet. That is an awesom idea. I love it...thanks alot

Bethany,

Hello and Welcom! Your name is on the spreadsheet so all you have to do now it click on the link (and remember to bookmark it!) and then click on the blue words at the top of the spread sheet that say "go to live form" and then you will fill that out with your info and it will add you again to the bottom but I will always be going in and keeping that updated for all by moving and deleting! Good Luck to you on your surgery.

Keep in touch,

Gina

Hello

I am getting banded April 16th by Dr. Marc Rickford in Washington, DC. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I know this is best decision I have made. I refuse to continue down this road of obesity. 2008 is a New Year for me and I am ready for my transformation. Congrats to eveyone who has done it and will be doing it!! :thumbup:

This board rocks :thumbup:

Hi- Jumping in a little late here. My name is Marisa, I'm scheduled to by banded by Dr. Feteiha in Summit, NJ on April 21st.

I've already ordered the stash of supplies for the 2w pre-surgery liquid fest.:Dancing_shocked:

I recently went back to school for nursing, so I'm squeezing the surgery in between semesters. It should be quite the adventure - but will be totally worth it when I can walk into any store and buy clothes 'off the rack'. :thumbup:

I have to say that the thought of owning thighs that don't rub together is an entirely enticing concept as well... :Dancing_tongue:

Hey Bethany, it took me a bit to figure that one out.

Go to Trying To Conceive Ticker

Choose your weight loss ticker (they have tons to choose from) and follow their steps. VERY easy.

Then cut and paste to the area below your signature line, or below your name, or wherever you want your ticker. (Done in the "my account" section)

Have fun! I chose the chicks because of Easter/April band date (well, sometimes Easter is in April)

Hi Everyone!

I'm scheduled to be banded on my birthday, April 24th!! Wonder if there are other "birthday bandsters". Anyway, now that the LONG AWAITED date is near, I'm reading everything I can to be sure its the right decision. Seemed like I was very sure before I was approved and scheduled!! Thats probably normal. I'm glad Easter is over, and my kids' candy & chocolate fest is done! I think thats another good thing about getting banded this time of year.....AFTER the holidays and Easter. Why are Cookies & candy automatically thrown into holidays? I guess I look at it differently now! Well, I'm excited & nervous......reminds me of the "great unknowns" like with the birth of my first baby. Luckilly, we're taking a trip over spring break, so that will help the time pass.

Sorry, I'm just rambling.....

Kat, thanks for the support. I see you EVERYWHERE on this forum!!

Good luck everyone!

Barb

Hi. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jamie, I'm a 31 y/o mom of one(so far!) and having surgery on the 16th. I was supposed to be a March bandster but there were some delays with my insurance company. At any rate, I am excited and counting down the days!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
