You guys have done so great! Seeing posts like these makes me even more eager to have my surgery!

Thank you!

I hope you can! Good luck to you either way

Thanks AlleyKat! That makes perfect sense. My doctor said the same thing, as far as starting walking right away to deal with soreness, prevent bloodclots, etc. But I was wondering the approximate time of when everyone started with other stuff like aerobics, weight lifting, etc. But what you said as far as no one knows our body like we do is exactly right. I just never thought of it that way I guess. Congrats on your date too! And good luck!

Thank you Cindysmom! Wow....you have done great! When did you have your surgery?

I am so excited and eagerly awaiting my surgery on June 12th! I do however, have a couple of questions...... 1. How soon did you all start exercising after surgery? 2. Was/is the "mental" part hard for you?

I've been telling EVERYBODY!! Lol! I am 39 years old, and have been overweight my entire life. So I am VERY excited about being banded! I'm hoping to have my surgery the first part of April. Good luck to you all!
