  • As soon as I got to my room and started waking up a little more, I had my sister help me out of bed and then walk with me around the med surg floor. I was a little dizzy so good to have someone with y

Everyone here! If you haven't already, there is a thread in the May 2008 threads called "Scedualed for may, what day?" Go to the last posts and add yourself to the list we have of everyone getting banded in May!!!

I added a couple of you to the list myself but I know I missed a few, check and see if your there!!!

Hi Allison, My surgery date is May 12th and I start my preop diet May 2nd. I am very excited about my surgery. Until I found this website I was very nervous and doubtful, but after connecting with the folks here I am so uplifted and ready to do this. I also wanted to tell you that I love the area where you live. I am an RN and did some travel nursing in Cape Cod in the fall of 2002. I still have wonder memories of the time I spent there. I worked in surgery at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyanis and I lived in Hyanis Port. I always had 3 day weekends so I went all over New England. I went back in 2005 and stayed on Nantucket for a week and then revisted some of the places I loved. I loved Boston for all the culture and history. Well, good luck on your journey. Becky

Thanks Becky! Yeah I love living here, its perfect, right near the cape, right near Providence and Boston, 4 hours to NYC, about an hour to the mountains, everythings right here! Where do you love now??? Nantucket is beautiful but I haven't been there in years! My friends and I want to take the ferry to either of the islands this summer.

Hi Allison, I live in Chico Calif and have worked in the local hospital for many years. I took a little time off and did travel nursing and just fell in love with Cape Cod. I think I left a little piece of my heart there. I've been to both Nantucket and Martha's Vinyard and enjoyed both of them very much. There is a great book called Ahabs Daughter that takes place on Nantucket in the 1800's which if fun to read. I couldn't find that May thread you were talking about. I am still kind of new to the website and don't know my way around it too well. But lets keep in touch since our surgeries are so close. Well, I am off to work. Bye, Becky

it's coming fast ! Good luck and best wishes you all you fellow May Flowers...

Can't believe my banding date is almost here - FRIDAY!!!!

Started the process in July 2007 when I attended my first seminar and began the process. My date's with Dr. Chow from NJ Bariatrics at Univ. of Princeton Medical Center.

Can't wait for it to be over...can't sleep, clean house, work, or focus on anything else except what's ahead....a new me. Yeah!!!
