I am so excited and happy for you! You are so well organized and so successful already! Keep in touch the next couple days and remember: rest, water and walking. HUGS::::::::::::::::

I had my banding yesterday, and I would like to ease your mind if you have any anxieties. It was a good experience, kinda like an adventure. The lady at the desk in the surgery check in had this fantastic personality, and she told me all about her experience with her lap band, all good, and she was looking good, had lost 48 lbs. Nothing hurt, of course because I was asleep thru the whole thing.

I was a lttle uncomfortable when I first woke up, but pain shot took care of that. Actually, I was able to do quite a bit of walking, all the sips of water went down well, and I was release today after my swallow study. I am sore all over and have some gas, but so far nothing has been that bad at all. It will all be over before you know and you will be wondering how in the world did the time go by so fast. Best of luck to you, just open your eyes, and enjoy the ride, everyone treats you like you're special.
