It looks like the February Foxes have it, unless, lol, I can extend the time?I wanted us to have a name when our month began. And there is a poll on the February 2009 forum, too. I think it lasts until the 7th.

Well, based on both polls, the one here in pre op and the one in the February 2009 forum, it looks like February Foxes has won. The next most popular, I think was Victorious Valentines 2009. guys, if you're not comfortable being foxes, at least you can be victorious :-)!

I voted for Fortunate febs because I feel so very fortunate and blessed to be able to have this surgery. Set for 2/27 in Juarez, Mexico, Dr. Rodriguez. We could go with blessed Febs 2009.

Congrats on getting your lapbanding date!! Mine is Feb. 27th!!! We'll be joining the February Bandsters, or foxes, etc, I guess! Good luck and God bless you! LinKoop

Welcome Madison 2272,

We have the same surgery date.

A lot of great information on here.

I can't wait to have it all behind me...

Are you on any pre op diet?

Wildfire

I am starting the pre op liquid diet on Monday, My Surgeon does recommoned 2 weeks of liquids. My surgery was orginallly set for March, but there was a cancellation so it got moved to the 23rd. So for accepting the surgery on short notice I only have to do liquids for 1 week instead of 2 woo hoo!

Welcome Madison:smile: my surgery date is Feb 25 just finish pre op appt. yesterday was bumed to find out I have to stay the night I will miss my bed :crying:Good luck on your surgery:thumbup:

Susie

Why do you have to spend the night? I am the first one on the surgery list for the morning , and was told it should only take a hour with a hour or so of recovery then on my way home...

Madison

I have to stay the night because the doctor also has to fix a sliding hiatal hernia that showed up so I guess he wants to make sure all is working well. All of a sudden with surgery not far off I'm eatting everything I can get my hands on which is bad for my liver but hard to control had a much better grip on my foods before this week so I heed to slow down and get a grip again Have a great day:thumbup:

my insurance requires people to stay over. Normally you'd think they want to kick you out asap...The next a.m. they x-ray to make sure you band is okay and you can drink thru it. Other than that, it sounds like many go home the same day.

Hi. My surgery will be Feb. 19. Only 2 more days. I don't think I have been this excited since my kids were to be born.:thumbup:
