Hi all you April Bandsters! We have our own April '09 Forum here. This will be our 1st Master Thread to chat, share dates, diets, feelings, etc. When it starts getting too long (loads too slowly) we can start a 2nd and so on.

Sherry (Sissyh1006) has started a list with all our surgery dates, so she'll be along soon and you can give her updates.

If you want a "Bunny Bandsters - April '09" signature line (see below) then click HERE (feel free to change anything). On LBT go to 'User CP' (in the top banner) then down to 'Edit your Signature' (on the Left column). Now copy the PICTURE of the Bunny signature with the peep and paste it into the edit your signature box.

Can't wait to meet you all! -BG

I think it'd be really hard to have/host/attend a family dinner near surgery. Heck I typically host thanksgiving and I am taking this year off and that is about 7 months out from surgery.

I wonder if I will ever be strong enough to not weigh every day. I only record it on fridays but every morning after I pee there I stand in all my nekkid glory on the scale hoping it's lower than the day before lol!!

I thought I was the only one like that every morning.....:crying:

Greeting Fellow April Banders. My surgery is scheduled for April 10th. It's been a long road getting here.

Do I have to do anything special to join your group.

We have the same date my surgery is suppose to be at 7:30am have to be at the hospital at 5:30am

OK, who needs Ticker/Banner help, because SOMEBODY (Thin, is it you? ) forgot to put a return (Enter) between their tickers and I'm WAY too lazy to scroll side to side and I can't see everything you're writing....LOL.

oh i didnt forget i purposely omitted it. figured 4tickers was a bit much but dont want to get rid of any of them lol so i stacked them side to side to make better use of the room. I can see them at once but my laptop is a widescreen, I didnt think about that when I did it. Guess I'll whittle my tickers down...hmmm....which to lose....

LOL...I didn't realize that it wouldn't let you stack that many...how do some get such a lot into their sig? Lest you delete a Bunny (blasphomy! we'd have to take back your bunny ears!) or *gasp* My Man Mickey...I can put forth the effort to scroll over:lol:...after all, you'll be getting rid of that 'Band Birthday' one soon enough YAY!...problem solved LOL!!!

Hey Bunnies!

Well that got your bunny hopping!! Congrats you fool!

Hello! I would like to be added to the list. I have an appointment April 1 to schedule a surgery date, take the ulcer test and when to start the preop diet otherwise everything is done. They said I should be a Bunny Bandster! Good luck to everyone on their liquids now. - Val

Thanks band -Groupie and Sissy add me for April 9th.

here is a finish for your poem.

Bunnie looked and looked until she found a home,

Then she found the perfect spot, On the beach in the sand

And right along with her came her lap band

While she in the sun looking all lean and tan

What did she drink nothing other than one Slimfast in a can

Bunnie felt eyes upon her

when she looked she saw a Man

With a twinkle in his eye and wink

then he ran

he yelled back You look fabulous!

Bunnie said I knew I would

the moment I said Yes, Yes, Yes I can!

Enjoy, Murphy

WOO HOO! I finally got scheduled. It feels like I have been working on this forever and now I acutally have a date. Surgery is April 27th, so I am officially a bunny bandster. :crying:

Now I just have to hurry up and wait. I should be used to that by now. LOL

...that's my *gulp* 50th birthday:lol: (I'm still getting used to the idea).

Okay I just got off the phone w/the scheduler. I have an appt on 4/7 to do my preop physical and preop diet and answer all my questions (i have a list that is ever growing anybody got any suggestions?) and then another appt to meet w/the surgical team on 4/13. She mentioned the lapband.com site that will have info and support for me post bandign and she will give me that information after she gets it. Has anybody else used that site? I will be staying in the hospital for 36 hours after surgery to be sure everything goes smoothly (not looking forward to that at all). I also WILL have a preop diet that will start roughly 2wks prior to banding.

On surgery day I have to be at the hospital at 6am @@ that SUCKS but at least i'll be done early right?

okay NOW i'm starting to get a little nervous.....it suddenly seems so much more real!

Hey everyone! I'm Kelly and my surgery date is set for April 7th. I start my liquid diet on the 31st - a 7 day diet. I'm so excited and so happy to be party of the Bunny Bandsters!

Yep, you should ask all of us! We have probably asked our surgeons a lot of them!! :crying:

Murphy I like the poem!

So I think I'm going to tell my parents. Screw what they say... I'm a grown woman.
