What do you think we should call ourselves? We need a cute group name!!! Something sparkley...something inspiring...something WONDERFUL!!!!!

I'm ready for my date on March 10! March Madness or March Melters works for me. I'm not so keen on Maidens, Hotties, Beauties, or Lovelies, even if I do end up being the only guy!

HaHa, I don't know why I just assumed everyone was female. I'm sorry! I like March Melters...! :thumbup:

March 6th for me! Getting nervous. I don't have a choice on the shakes. Anyone have any idea? I've heard of some poeple blending them with ice or adding instant coffee to make it taste better. It'll be 3 weeks for me starting Friday the 13th - how fitting!

How about Lucky:party:Losers!I have my date set for March 4....Yea!

I think my surgery date is going to be in March. I have to find out from my lead when it would be best. I have been waiting for this for a really long time.

I hope I get to be a March Melter!

I like Lucky Losers or March Madness! I am hoping to have surgery end of March. I should know early March what the date will be.

gabi311b i just saw your stats and mine are exactly the same-5'8 and 269, and our surgery dates are a day apart! (i'm still waiting to hear re: insurance approval but hopefully). funny coincedence.

That's awesome! I don't know about you but I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm making lists and counting down on the calendar and I'm just going kinda crazy. I have to get an endoscopy instead of an upper GI and I just scheduled that for 2/14...what a good way to spend Valentine's Day! Where are you having your surgery at?

I am self paying cause insurance wouldn't approve me as I don't have any co-morbidities. It kinda sucks to have to pay that large amount of money but I know it will be well worth it and I can't wait!

I getted my band on March 5, 2009.

I just got my letter - I am officially UN-DENIED!! I am hoping to get banded the middle of march - I have waited 6 months for this I am soooooooo excited!

March 10, for me! How about Mini-Marchers?

I have a March 31st surgery date. Hope I make it. Waiting on approval from the insurance company is driving me nuts!:thumbup:

My dr. said he did not want me to diet before I get banded - he said that he wants me to be as healthy as possible. I wonder if it will make a diffferance to diet or not. I feel like I should be dieting - just because it is a habit!!
