Someone said that the February 2008 bandsters were victorious Valentines. If that's true, I apologize, I really had no idea that name had been taken. But it looks like February foxes and Victorious Valentines are tied. So far!

Debbie, no reason to apologize. It's a great name and we are proud of it. Regardless of what you call yourselves, the important thing is you are being banded, and what better month can you be banded in? I can't think of one!!

2008 Victorious Valentine checking in as well. This is a very exciting time and you should all be so proud of yourselves making a decision to change your life for the better! This last year has been nothing short of amazing for me and I couldn't have done it without my beloved fellow Victorious Valentine's!! Although, I have to admit..I was pushing for Feb Zepplin's as our group name early in the game!! Good luck to all of you and like my "sister from another mister", Rhapsody said...come on over to our forum if you have any questions or need additional support. Welcome to Bandland...you're gonna love it here!!

I never thought of "fox" being gender specific. We're not saying foxy ladies. Is there a way we can remove Victorious Valentines from the poll since it's already in use?

Keep the faith!

Thank you to all the Victorious Valentines from 2008, for your warmth and encouragement. I've apologized, because the name was something I chose without even realizing you guys (and gals) had it. And thank you for being so willing to let us keep the name in our poll, and for not coming after me! lol

OK I have finally decided to post something since I see that there are others out there with the same surgery date. Feb 3 I am ready to go but a little nervous. I never had any type of surgery. I will be checking in with you guys and see how everything is going. My surgeon makes us stay 1 night so I will be home on Wednesday and hopefully on my way to a brand new Linda Lou.....

Good Luck to all those that are also getting surgery - let's keep in touch

Thanks for the Thread....

Hey guys, I just wanted to throw it out there that there is a poll in the Feb. 2009 section of the forum that has more name options on it.

You can find it here

I think it might be better to go by that poll since it includes the names in this poll as well as a few others. But it is up to everyone, I guess.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
