I just received my date today. I am having surgery May 6th too! The count down begins. I like the shrinko de mayo's as well, and I have given some thought to names as well and had thought about may flowers or daisy Mays, May Maidens, Mighty Mays, May Masterpieces, May minimizers, may mini me's but I agree that the men might not like some of those names. Just some thoughts, I would like to hear what others May come up with.

Oh wow!!! May 6 bandsters on the loose!!! Woot!!! I just got the paper work today for my pre-surg work-up with anesthesiologist and pre-surg check-in with my surgeon on April 28.

I am doing a mostly "pre-op" strictness of diet, since I gained a few pounds since last visit with Surgeon, and he would not be happy to see me gained when I see him on the 28th... And then in two weeks, I start the for real strict pre-op diet as prescribed. At least I was on it, and strict, for a whole two weeks, so know that I can get through that part!

I feel better to have some more May bandsters get their dates!

I like Mayo BANDitos too! Shrinko De Mayo is a classic... How about... MiniMAYzers???

hi may bandsters, i am having my surgery may 19th in hopefully hot and sunny tj. maybe i will get a tan lol before i head back to victoria where spring has not exactly sprung yet. i like shrinko de mayo, mini may and mayo bandito's. best wishes to all the bandsters. sandi

Hi, everyone! Congrats on all the May dates! :tt2: I go in on May 7. :thumbup: Come on over to the May 2009 board, where we formed a group called the Mayo BANDitos! We're now working on a siggie tag for the bottom of our posts, so if you are good with graphics, please, we need your help! :tt2:

Looking forward to getting to know all of you as we start our journey together!

Cheers!

hi, it looks like you know how to add tickers etc. i am a bit of a technophobe lol could you please let me know how to do this. thanks sandi:unsure:

Sure, no problem -- happy to help! Go here: Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy...

Choose "Weight Loss" (the first one in the left-hand column) and it will walk you through making your ticker step-by-step! If you want to do a countdown to your surgery, choose "Event," which is the 7th one down in the right-hand column.

Good luck and have fun! :thumbup:)
