My name is Mandy, I am new at all this! I have my own blog @ Blogger.com (not sure if you put in my email address if it would work).
Anyways, I had Lap-Band Surgery on Monday 12/6. It has not even been a week and I lost 8 lbs. I lost 22 before surgery so I m down a total 30lbs since I began this journey. I also have been non-smoker now 8 months, since I decided I was going to have surgery I had to quit smoking in order for them to even consider me a canidate for the surgery.
I am 29 yrs old married and Mother of 3, work full time as a case manager with adults with Developmental Disabilites I live in Mass.
I am ready to be a happy and healthier me, not just for myself, but my children and husband.
I hope to meet others on here that have had the band done....
I don't mind the Protein shakes, but I am hungry, the pains are bad, I feel like my insides are spazzing out and all twisted inside and out. I have such acid reflux...I have to deal with this for another week...but I think tomorrow I am going to call the dr's office. The pains are even in my back and not sure if this is normal.
I hope to hear from someone soon.

I can't wait to hear how your surgery went and how you are feeling. I am scheduled for Monday Dec 6th and I am starting to get nervous. I hope you are feeling well!!!
