Back from Mexico!
Hey Zoe I rush home everyday to read your post hoping you have one. I think you for some strange reason are part of my strength right now... even though I dont know you...oololol. I am just very nervous and anxious. I am glad you are doing so well. May I ask what your inscisions look like? is it hard to find clothes that dont hurt? Gosh its hard enough getting dressed for work now and everything is tight let alone trying to find something that isnt. well another day closer tomorrow I am going to attempt going to sleep.

And my belly was so sore I guess I was really feeling what Zoe was saying. I was so bummed out when I woke up and it wasent over. I didnt have my band yet..... well soon enough. But hey My experience in my dream was not to bad.

getting banded
Thank you so much for your support. It is so nice to have !! I cant thank you all enough!!!!!!!! Actually I just got off the phone with my sister and someone was telling her at her job about the todays show yesterday, it was about lap band. See I had heard it was supportive of the band. her friend told her that some girl died because she was pregnate and she was gettin sick and died. Did anyone see this show? I am thinking she is mixing it up with the bypass. people love to be alarmest dont they...

Another newbie
I have not been banded yet but I too have never been one for working out. However I am a fish so I found water arobices to be great. Where else are we weightless! that alone is enough to make you plunge into the pool. Well is for me anyways! Alot of community centers and ymca's offer it. Try it its great. And its all old lady's so you wont feel uncomfortable.

getting banded
Oh thanks so much I cant wait. I am getting nervous Its just the unknown. And even though when I tell people that I am going to mexico I am sure you know the response I get. But I feel really good about Dr. Rumbaut. Is Rafael a doctor? I am really looking forward to my new life. Then there is always that feeling that everything else failed, its to good to be true. Hopefully this will be a new beginning. Hey the way I see it as long as my legs dont rub anymore and my feet dont hurt I'll be happy! lol:D
