sunnee01 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I am scheduled to be banded on May 21... I may have to postpone, depending on what happens on Monday.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, and saying some prayers. Hopefully, this will turn out to be nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulytangledgrl Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hey all you May bandsters! Well, I have been really struggling here with making a final decision about switching my surgery date from end of July to end of May. I am so excited to get this done, and I really don't want to wait. Me being the impatient girl that I am, had already purchased airline tickets for the July date. Well, I emailed Rene at OCC and said 'lets switch to may 23' - he emailed back and said that the 23 wasn't open but th 22nd was open. I thought about it, and did the math about how I could fenangle this with my sick hours/vacation hours at work, and decided against it. I already have a mini vaca planned in June and decided I wouldn't have enough time to also have the may surgery (especially mid-week). So I emailed Rene and said 'okay lets keep it my original date.' So, NOW I am really just beside myself, and today I decided that I am switching it. I can't wait any longer I am ready to do this - the sooner the better! I switched my flight today (at the cost of an extra $211.00 but heck, its worth it), and I emailed Rene for a may 30th date. This way, I will only have to take ONE day off of work because I can flex my time and get my 40 hours in within 4 days (I make my own work schedule - which is great) so I will only have to take one day of sick time. SO..... long story short, Rene is probably like 'what the heck lady make up your mind!!!' and I am finally set and feeling much happier now that I only have A MONTH until surgery! =D> YAY! SO, ANY OTHER MAY 30TH BANDSTERS OUT THERE LURKING?? IF SO, SHOW YOUR FACES! can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petnanny Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 TeriSo glad to hear someone else is goingfor that same day that post on this forum. I am looking forward to meeting you. Are you coming alone? I will have my husband with me but we would love to maybe get together. What area are you from? Lorrie - dimples1966 Hi Lorrie, I am going with a friend of mine. We are coming from Mesa, Arizona. No worries, I have a friend that had this done by OCC about 4 years ago and she said it was the best thing she ever did and has never regretted it. I am going to be in a non-private room so I am wondering who my roomie is. My only concern is how long we have to wear the paper panties before I can return to my cotton comfeys!!

deparis Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi! I was wondering if I was going to be the only one there. It's great to meet you. We will be fine. Are you bringing any with you? What time does your flight get in from AZ? Looking forward to the 23rd. Audrey hey audrey southwest flight from az will arrive at 1:35. we're leaving at 12:30 on the 22nd... hoping to have fun the evening before the surgery (shopping, some possible pampering (massages). I know we'll have fun... now make may 22 happen asap. I cannot wait any longer. very nervous and oh soooo excited... keep in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnee01 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 hey audreysouthwest flight from az will arrive at 1:35. we're leaving at 12:30 on the 22nd... hoping to have fun the evening before the surgery (shopping, some possible pampering (massages). I know we'll have fun... now make may 22 happen asap. I cannot wait any longer. very nervous and oh soooo excited... keep in touch Great to hear from you. I get in at 9:30 AM. I hate those 6 AM flights, but it was so much cheaper. I like the pampering idea. I've had too many "last meals." LOL.. I think that's one of the reasons why I am here! I am not nervous; I just want it to get here! I was talked out of this by a sister, from Phoenix, about 6 mos ago. I can't wait! Audrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teri- petnanny Hi Teri, How do you know you don't have a private room? No one has told me anything about my room. I requested to have surgery early in the morning so that maybe I could go back to the hotel that same day.

Laughing.... you are so normal.... once the decision to have the surgery is made, it becomes a date obsession until it finally arrives. Funny how we count our lives by events.. first the surgery, and then the fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to worry about your hotel accomodations... they take care of it all. I think you send your flight itinerary to the secretary.. can't think of her name, but I also sent one to the transportation dept, and later called transportation to double check, making sure they had everything right.

Yes those paper panties don't sound like alot of fun...LOL Unless they tell you otherwise, you have a private room. Also, the paper panties are a HOOT. As a fattie, I have never worn a thong, and this was my chance. I laughed so hard. Many of our forum got an extra pair and had the doctor sign them as a souvenier. Go with the flow.. the whole thing is facinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teensy01 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm arriving on the 12th and having surgery on the 13th. My mom is coming with me - she's a RN and I'm a big chicken! Can't wait to finally put the plan into action. Thanks to everyone for your encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Paula, Yes, they did tell me I dont have a private room because this was the only time that I had to escape from here and I think all the rooms were full. As a fattie, I once bought a thong and now keep it in my drawer to remind me of not purchasing stupid things, besides, I have all the dental floss I need in the bathroom!

I have to do my tests on the same day since I do not get into San Diego until 6:20 Wednesday eve. I can not wait... Im sooo excited. By the way, my friend is a true friend because she plans on going on a strict diet when I get home so I dont have to suffer alone! Glad your hubby is there for you!!!See you Wednesday, I am 5'6, blonde bob hair and a little bit loud so you should be able to find me!!
