  1. Hey Michelle, I am also brand new to this website, I was reading your blog, and I was curious about your surgery date, from your experience do the plan the surgery dates ahead of time like that in most circumstances, I am just asking because I am a teacher and dont want to have my surgery during summer break I really want to lay out in the sun and be poolside, thanks for any help you can lend me, by the way congrats on your journey!
  2. I am very excited about the possibility of being a surgery candidate for LapBand, I live in North Carolina, and I am going to my very first appointment in Fayetteville tomorrow, (weather Permitting), I have already participated in the seminar, and I have researched so many hours for LapBand and realize Band. I will make every effort to update my progress, in this blog. I have tons of questions for other participants, however I will add more after I have my consultation and give you the steps that I have to take in order to change my life. If anyone has had the surgery could you tell me the post -op recovery time, I only ask because I am a school teacher, and do not want to miss a lot of school, just curious how many days people might have needed in order to be back in full force! Thanks again.
