    I went for the first time last week and just about died...lol. Proud to say I made it the whole hour and had more energy than girls half my size (biggest person in class unfortunately). My body hurt for days but I can't wait to go back tomorrow; I even rescheduled a date with the hubby just to make sure I have time to get to class. Hoping this will be the breakthrough I need to get excited about exercise again...

    Thanks so much for you response. Did you have to see the psychologist more than one time? Or just once? I thought that perhaps because the eval was so far ahead of the consult that he may want to see me more than once. I have never been to a psychiatrist before for any reason, so i am nervous on top of being nervous if you know what i mean

    Kim you could do it! When I started taking zumba in May 2009 I couldnt even finish a class and I was terrified to go alone. In September, I decided I loved it so much that I had to become a licensed instructor so that I could do it every day! Over two years later I've got 4 classes a week. You could do it :-) don't stop!

    I've been meaning to post.. I was banded on 3/3 with no problems! I think the procedure took about an hour, and when i woke up I had some slight abdominal pressure, similar to doing an awesome ab workout. I didn't think the pressure was enough to be subdued so I refused pain medicine. Within the first five minutes of arriving to my room I was up and going to the bathroom, and then up to walk around the wing every hour there after.
    I had the most soreness in my throat from the breathing tube during surgery, and my nurse was able to get me some spray to help. If I could give any advice it would be: WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK. Walking has helped my intestinal gas pressure as well as my NO2 pressure. I didn't have any soreness from the nitrous oxide. The more you move, the quicker you will start to feel better. I'm 4 days post op, and I'm back to work this morning with my drinks in tow.
    Good luck to everyone with their upcoming bandings!
