Hi gigi,

I would love to be added to your spreadsheet. That is an awesom idea. I love it...thanks alot

Bethany,

Hello and Welcom! Your name is on the spreadsheet so all you have to do now it click on the link (and remember to bookmark it!) and then click on the blue words at the top of the spread sheet that say "go to live form" and then you will fill that out with your info and it will add you again to the bottom but I will always be going in and keeping that updated for all by moving and deleting! Good Luck to you on your surgery.

Keep in touch,

Gina

Hello

I am getting banded April 16th by Dr. Marc Rickford in Washington, DC. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I know this is best decision I have made. I refuse to continue down this road of obesity. 2008 is a New Year for me and I am ready for my transformation. Congrats to eveyone who has done it and will be doing it!! :thumbup:

This board rocks :thumbup:

Hi- Jumping in a little late here. My name is Marisa, I'm scheduled to by banded by Dr. Feteiha in Summit, NJ on April 21st.

I've already ordered the stash of supplies for the 2w pre-surgery liquid fest.:Dancing_shocked:

I recently went back to school for nursing, so I'm squeezing the surgery in between semesters. It should be quite the adventure - but will be totally worth it when I can walk into any store and buy clothes 'off the rack'. :thumbup:

I have to say that the thought of owning thighs that don't rub together is an entirely enticing concept as well... :Dancing_tongue:

Hey Bethany, it took me a bit to figure that one out.

Go to Trying To Conceive Ticker

Choose your weight loss ticker (they have tons to choose from) and follow their steps. VERY easy.

Then cut and paste to the area below your signature line, or below your name, or wherever you want your ticker. (Done in the "my account" section)

Have fun! I chose the chicks because of Easter/April band date (well, sometimes Easter is in April)

Hi Everyone!

I'm scheduled to be banded on my birthday, April 24th!! Wonder if there are other "birthday bandsters". Anyway, now that the LONG AWAITED date is near, I'm reading everything I can to be sure its the right decision. Seemed like I was very sure before I was approved and scheduled!! Thats probably normal. I'm glad Easter is over, and my kids' candy & chocolate fest is done! I think thats another good thing about getting banded this time of year.....AFTER the holidays and Easter. Why are Cookies & candy automatically thrown into holidays? I guess I look at it differently now! Well, I'm excited & nervous......reminds me of the "great unknowns" like with the birth of my first baby. Luckilly, we're taking a trip over spring break, so that will help the time pass.

Sorry, I'm just rambling.....

Kat, thanks for the support. I see you EVERYWHERE on this forum!!

Good luck everyone!

Barb

Hi. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jamie, I'm a 31 y/o mom of one(so far!) and having surgery on the 16th. I was supposed to be a March bandster but there were some delays with my insurance company. At any rate, I am excited and counting down the days!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
