What a great post. Reading everyone's responses reminds me of all the changes I am looking forward too. I had surgery March 9th. Have lost 22 lbs so far. I can't wait to go out with friends and not be the "fat friend". Being able to buy a cute swimsuit. Buy clothes that don't look like I'm pregnant. Be able to outrun my kids (11 & 10) or at least be able to keep up with them. So much to look forward too. I hope everyone can reach all their non measurable goals.

I was banded on the 9th. Went back to work today. New to this site. I am also having the shoulder pain. It hurts more than the incisions. My surgeon told me it is from them messing with the phrenic nerve. That crazily enough goes from the stomach to the left shoulder. It's great to see how everyone is doing and how positive everyone is towards others.
