I am scheduled for May

I am scheduled for May 8th in Kalamazoo, MI.
I can't wait. I went out two months from now so my employer would approve it. I have been working on this for 12 months and now BCBS of MI changed the medical visits to only 6 months recently. At least others won't have to wait so long to have the surgery.

I am reading alot on these forums so I will be well prepared. It is so different for everyone and even I read that the pre-op and post-op is so different per doctor. I am so excited to finally have a TOOL that is promising to help me.

Well congrats on that. It won't be much longer for you. I was banded 1-7-8 so am pretty new to all this. I have not had my first fill yet but will next week. I am down 30 lbs. now. I am so glad i made the decision to have this done. I feel so much better just losing 30lbs. I still have about 76 to go but now I know for the first time in my life that I will get there. The surg was a breeze. Best wishes to you.

I am hoping with some information I get in the next few days that I will be able to schedule my surgery for May. I had a thought about a name for the group to consider.... May Miracles ? Just a thought!

KikiVal315 · 03-07-2008, 09:36 PM

i've been thinking about that too missy...i guess we'll find out when we get closer and hopefully someone can come up with some clip art to go with it, then us mays can vote on it.

I am so happy to have other May banders with me. I am anxious for this to happen and can't wait. Crystal, wow same May 8th surgery. We will have alot to talk about. I will think of a cool name for May also. "May Miracles" sounds good so far.

I have a May date! May 25th ... it seems like forever from now but it will sneak up on me I'm sure. About the name. I liked May Flowers in someones post. Maybe that would work??

Southern Missy · 03-09-2008, 08:46 AM

Not sure any of the guys would want to be called a flower ...

Bizzy Bee · 03-09-2008, 08:53 AM

True :) We'll keep thinking.

How about Magnificent Mays?

Southern Missy · 03-09-2008, 06:47 PM

Members of the BBB: Blooming Bandster Buddies

So far we have:

- Magnificient Mays
- May Miracles

If anyone likes the BBB we can add it to our list. I'm stil thinking of others, though. Really, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, I'm just obsessed until I get my band and cannot help myself!

Hey everyone!

I am scheduled for May 6th with Dr. Hart in Atlanta, GA. It seems I'm the earliest so far...I'll have to be the May guinea pig!

It's good to know that there are others around my surgery date, we'll all be healing, learning, and shrinking together!

I like the May Miracles but I look forward to hearing everyone's suggestions and voting as we get closer!
