I thought it might be fun to do a master list of everybody's surgery date! Send me your day and date, and that way we can see who's first, who else is on "our" day, and so forth!

Good luck to all Setember banders!

Hi, my first post.

Surgury date: Sept 30, 2008 - 7:30 AM

Start Liquids - Tomorrow 9/16/08

Step away from that cheeseburger and nobody will get hurt!

:embaressed_smile: I can't believe I at the whoooole thing!

:cool2: I can't believe I at the whoooole thing!

i swear to goodness..my class had snacktime today and one lil girl pulled out a bag of cheetos..i had visions of knocking her off her chair and stealing her cheetos...:embaressed_smile:

My boyfriend ate an entire McDonalds Cheeseburger meal in front of me plus 2 cookies. Granted I had given him permission earlier, but I took it back when he walked in the door. I was sooooo mad!!

I am being banded the 30th, my pre-op is tomorrow the 16th and I start my liquid diet on the 17th.

Thanks for keeping the list! You've helped me to find my fellow bandsters. Could you add me to the 24th?

thanks!

My surgery date has been changed to October 17th now. Sorry

THEY CHANGED MY SURGERY - AGAIN!!!!! :)

So now I am September 23. They waited until TODAY at 3pm to call and tell me. I was very upset. I started to cry

Now I should tell you that this Nurse has been extremely cold and almost rude to me, but when I told her that this is the SECOND time they have rescheduled me and all the problems this is going to cause, she actually had compassion. She forgot that I was originally scheduled for 9-17 and they changed it to the 19th. Since I was emotional, I also told her that I was taking vacation for this, it had been planned, cancelled and rescheduled and now they are making it so that I have to take 4 days off instead of 2 days. I was not a happy camper :cool2: but what was I going to do, they have a THREE month waiting list and they are graciously squeezing me in, and I get to be the first surgery. Goody :tt2:

So for the first time I actually put myself before my company. Mind you I have a few people off on Medical, one habitually, and for the past 5 years I have cancelled and rescheduled so many vacation days that they pay me off at the end of the year for 4 to 6 days, I just run out of time to take the days. When we have been short I have worked 10, 11 even 12 hours a day.

This time, this is important to me and I am sorry that this will make the Department short, but I have to do this, for me! I know that is not very Company Orientated, but this is important and I am going to have this done! I have always put work first, never miss a day being sick, I take vacation days around the flow of the office, cancel vacation days and cut my vacation short even changing our plans. But not this time!

I have the Nurse's promise 99.9% that this is the last change.

Sorry this is so long :w00t:, but I guess I had to write it because tomorrow I guess I am going to tell my Department that I am having surgery. And I was going to keep it a secret, yah right............ Sorry GG for making you change the list, again.

Well at least I am still a

Thank you, I appreciate it so much Debbie:blush:

Debbie--- I'm sorry... it sounds like you have been jerked around... good luck with your surgery!

Hi. Greetings from Houston. I think I finally have a real surgery date... it is September 19th... tomorrow. I hope whoever is trying to keep the date chart updated can change my date.

I've survived Hurricane Ike, lived without power and water for 3 days, had my surgery date changed 3 times, and have lived in this hotel for a week and a day... my surgery will be a snap after all of this. Congratulations to all who have recently been banded and good luck to those getting ready to be banded. Keep smiling. Becky
