April Bandsters?

Well I am getting banded on April 7th! Anyone else? I'm excited and nervous, but know that the future is going to be terrific! I've got nutrition class this Thursday, pre-surgery admission stuff on the 11th, and start the liquid diet for 2 weeks starting on the 19th. Time is going to fly!

Does anyone remember where the post was about what to get/bring before the surgery?

April 1st is my surgery date. Hubby (my ride and support person) was called out of town to be at his mothers bedside (dying from cancer) and wont be in town for my surgery and has asked me to re-schedule!!! I am scrambling and asking friends to do me a favor and pick me up after surgery!!! (surgery center is 1.5 hrs away)Otherwise it will be at least another month til the next time i can plan it!! YIKES!!

that would be a big April Fool's Day for me if i cant do it!!

I'm gonna find a way somehow!!

thanks for letting me vent!

I was supposed to have been banded this Sunday morning, March 29th, and by 2pm they came and told me that they could not perform the surgery. Apparently there was an 8hr emergency surgery that took up the OR I was suppose to have my surgery in. They asked me stay overnight to try and fit me in today, but at 12pm, they said it was a no go. So, they discharged me and are rescheduling either this Wed, Thurs or next week. I won't know until tomorrow.

So, now I am April bandster. Good luck everyone.

I am sure that was very disappointing for you to go through but now you are a bunny banster so we are happy to have you join us. Thanks for hopping over to our place.

I think that is one thing I am really going to miss eating this easter. I LOVE stale peeps sooooooo much. LOL
