Welcome, everyone, to the Mayo Banditos! Glad to have you here! We've formed a group, and there are a lot more threads going on right now about all sorts of subjects that may be of interest to you as your dates rapidly approach... like mine (May 7th) !!!

how is everyone doing with the pre surgery diet?

I have just about had my fill of eating meat.

My date is set for May 19th. I still can't believe it's actually hapening. I hope it all goes well; I've never had surgery before or been in the hospital. Congrats to everyone else!

My sister and I are scheduled to be banded on May 14th. We are doing this together and have our procedures schedule back to back on the same day. Ten days to go and we are excited, nervous and scared but glad we have each other for support.

Like you genetic_gem I've never had surgery before nor been in a hospital.

Finally somewhere i belong!! This entire time i have felt that i am behind or ahead of the curve do to surgery dates of the people that i have been talking to .....BUT NOW I can be with my fellow May-ers.........May 8th here Woot Woot and let me tell you i am fearing for my life!!:thumbup: I have never had surgery..on anything...EVER!! So of course you will find me weary and nervous. Anyways it would be nice to be able to talk to some of you so we can go through this journey together.....I would give me a piece of mind and some sanity....let me know if you wanna partner up and push eachother to new weights:tongue_smilie: I sure could use some encouragement now and then....maybe this is exactly what the doctor ordered!!!!

Hi! I'm a new member here, this is my first post. My surgery is scheduled for May 18. I'm so excited I can barely think about anything else. And a little nervous too. Just want to say hi and good luck to all !!

Hello everyone! I am scheduled to be band tomorrow! YIIIIPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I am SOOOO nervous! :thumbup:

Why did they change your date? This almost happend to me "insurance" issues on a Friday, but I refused to take NO for an answer. I have waited too long. On May 25 it will be a year since I started the process.
