  1. Proud of my kids, proud of my husband. But never proud of myself. Until I jogged a 5k last weekend.

    I was dead last. But I didn't care. I jog/limped. But I didn't care.

    The arthritis in my knee ached ever step. But I finished!! I did it.

    I haven't been very successful with my band like so many have. Not proud of that. But a wonderful banderentioned couch to 5k app. and I tried it one day, then another then another. I completed the 27

    day program and ran a race.

    Maybe someday I'll know what slim feels like....


  2. I should have a bachelors and masters degree in worrying! So I can relate to your angst.

    Yes, you can have complications BUT weight issues can cause lots of health complications as you know. In the world and on this site you'll hear the band loved and hated. If you follow ALL your doctors directions you not only will have weight loss success, you will minimize the chance of a complication early on or later.

    Day of surgery for me,only slightly achy thanks to pain meds. Some gas pains in my shoulders, but walking and moving(especially my arms) got rid of it fairly quickly.

    Incisions tender for a week. In a month I could exercise.

    My only complication, 9 days post op I had severe cramps from Constipation. My fault, didn't drink enough Water. Went to er, (tmi tmi tmi) and was fine within a couple hours. Good luck to you.
