May 2007 Banders



Recommended Posts

hey, i'm home & ok. more later.

go to tickerfactory.com and follow their directions. at the end they give you some information to copy. paste that into your signature area.

I tried but when I put it in as my signature in the edit page and then I save it just comes up as invalid file. I have tried the url and the copy and paste method......Thanks for your help. I will keep trying. I have ticker envy!!!!:cry

Metalband,

I had the same problems!! (you can go back several days and see all my questions!!) I went to TickerFactory, and I made sure I copied everything (the square parentheses and all...whatever they're called!) and pasted it under my name in the signature box (similar to the one I am typing in now for a quick reply). Then, save your signature, or preview it. I kept getting "invalid URL" , and then I had too many lines??? (I read somewhere you were only allowed 6 lines). Anyway, you have to copy everything in the bb code box, then paste it in your signature. Good luck! (it took me a week to figure it out!)

Hope everyone's doing well...it's so good to hear from everyone who has had their surgeries and is doing well.

Only 3 more days!! Whoo hoo!!

It's great to hear that all of you that have stepped into BandLand are doing well!

I like the name "May Flower", but understand that lack of meaning.

We'll come up with something. I do like that when you go to other threads it comes up! We could get away from the "May" part. Shrinking Violets, doesn't mention when their surgery was in the name. Did that make sense?

Good luck to the upcoming bandsters!

I have 2 weeks from yesterday!! WOOHOO! I have my 2hr. appt tomorrow with the nurse and anethesiologist (sp.) Then Thursday is my appt. with the Dr. and then labwork.

Time is just a ticking!!!

Ok, here's one idea for a logo/image.. If you wanted to use one.. I am trying to find something with a maypole, and transitition it with some stick figure guys/girls.. but I haven't found anything yet.. Let me know what you think. :)

I think I may need to make the wording darker or clearer.. I can add a slogan too... let me know.. Or we can still just be the 2007 Bandsters, that's cool too!! :biggrin1:

JerseyDori and Mischievous1,

All the best tomorrow! Will be thinking of you.

Hoping all our Tuesday bandsters are doing well!

Today's the first day that I haven't had to update the May calendar! I'm sure we will have a few more May bandsters before

the month is over. Nice to have such a great group to share the experience and encourage each other.

Cheers,

NimbleBean

How is everyone tonight? It is day 4 for me, and I am feeling more like I will survive. I wish I didn't feel hungry, but I guess that just goes with the process. My shoulder is still hurting. I am so confused on what I can and can't have that I am scared to do anything!

I'm being banded tomorrow and I feel the same way even though I haven't had the surgery yet! I hope they give me a manual or something lol. Good luck going back to work!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
