Hello everyone...I am being banded on April 10th. I am so excited! Seems like it's been forever to get to the countdown, but I think it'll be here before we know it!

Anyone else scheduled in April? We need to come up with a group name!

Hi Danielle I am getting banded the same day as you. If you want to chat let me know. It would be nice to talk as we are the same day.

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,

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:

Just got my band date.... April 8!!!!

Dr. Dally, Vancouver, WA

So glad to join the avengers :thumbup:

Dumb question.... how do you get the darn ticker to work? Mine keeps saying "invalid message".

Gigi - Very cool spreadsheet. I look forward to sharing info and cheering each other on!

Good luck all April Avengers!!

Hi Gina, thanks alot for adding me. Another question how do you get the weight counter that people have at the bottom of there names?... thanks again.

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)

Thanks Cori I really appreciate your help. I wasnt sure where it was that you went to paste it. Have a wonderful Easter Everyone!!

I found out yesterday I'm approved for surgury, and scheduled for 4/8! I'm scared but excited! Oh, and also can't stop eating since 2 week preop diet begins tues! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Congrats everyone, and thanks for being here.

Hi , i found this link today . It's a picture tutorial for tickers. Hope it helps.(Ticker TUTORIAL (WITH PICTURES!))Ticker TUTORIAL (WITH PICTURES!)

Thanks for the welcome Turler

Hope you all had a great(not to disasteress) Easter

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!

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!!

Can I too join the April Avengers??? I just got my date too..April 1st...yes!!

That's next week!! I am so excited and scared all at once...

I'll write more later...
