Finaly had the surgery!

Had my surgery on July 11th, 2009 in Mexico. I have to be honest i was pretty scared. However everything went great! It has been 3 weeks today and i feel great. I have amzaing support from my boyfriend. If it wasn`t for him i don`t think i would be doing so great!:sneaky: Now the beginning of my new life has just started and i am very excited for what is a head for me in my future:thumbup:.

Good to hear that you're feeling great and have the support of your boyfriend.

Listen to your body, don't over do it even if you feel better. I thought I was doing well my first couple of weeks out and then I picked up a watermelon. Oh the pain. I thought for sure I had pulled everything apart. No, I just pulled a muscle.

I was banded on 7/11 too but mine was back in 2006. I was doing well in the first year and thought that I could finish it on my own. No support, no more fills...well 3 years later I'm back. I gained some of my weight back but now I'm on track and losing again.
