Bandidos not Banditos



Recommended Posts

LOL, I was just channel surfing and I came across a movie called Bandidos, so I looked it up. It is spelled with a D instead of a T.

You're right, it would be bandida for female, but for a group of mixed people, it would still be bandidos. However, you are also right that it should be "de Mayo" -- how quickly I forget my basic Spanish. LOL

So, I am again changing my siggy, so if anyone wants to copy and paste into their siggy, feel free. :eek:

John was the first of us May folks to post so he got to choose the name.

The technical way to say it was considered but it was decided that mayo Bandidos was a short and fun name.

If I have a vote I would rather not see the name change now.

Got approval last week but I have been really busy moving my 88 yr old dad from CA to PA.

I haven't had time to think about myself and have not posted in awhile.

I didn't have to stress on approval because they sent everything in to Highmark BCBS a week before I thought they would. When I got home from CA a letter was in the mail. I am on schedule for 5/27 and really have the jitters now.

I have been reading everything everyone has been posting and I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experience.

Hope everyone is doing well and good wishes to those still waiting.

I still like Banditos, although if we are being correct with Spanish it should indeed be Banditos de mayo.

Why do I like Banditos? Because -ito or -ita means "little" in Spanish. And I sure like the thought of being a little Bandster... :redface:

But I'm too lazy to go change my banner... haha. Too much energy spent at the gym!! Yayyy!

      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.
