How soon to drive?
I drove about 4 or 5 days later. It didn't hurt at all.

Just started solids and went to town :(
You could eat normally because you didn't have a fill. Sometimes it take 3-5 fills before you reach a great spot, but don't worry, you will get there.

Good Morning Y'all! I am making a big ole pot of home made veggies soup! I have been so hungry for some and I usually only make it in the winter time but I wanted to make some to take for lunch at work. I can taste it already! mmmmmm Eileen - You definately need to go for the manicure and pedicure. I had my first one last year and I loved it. Pat - Mmmm that crab cake sounds so yummy. I love a crab cake when they are a good one, but I had a couple of bad ones and they were just that...bad! Dianne - I agree, you need to go on liquids for at least 24 if not 48 hours. Sounds like you irritated it pretty good. Cindy, Beanie, natesmom, Mandy, Patty, Sherry, Anne, Darcy, Mary, good morning to ya!

Big Hello from the UK
Welcome to LBT! Good luck, and remember to keep us posted on your progress!

Awaiting surgery and am having doubts - any thoughts - pro or con?
You are just going through all the normal thoughts, it's only natural. You have to remember this is a support group, and most of the people only come to these sites when something actually goes wrong and they need an answer. Then, there are some of us that are so addicted to this site that we are here all the time! :scared:

Crying a lot today
Wow, I guess I have never heard of a Doctor firing a patient. Something just don't seem right in that statement! I am like you, I believe everything happens for a reason, and you will probably be much better off going with someone you can trust. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Hello Y'all! Well, things have just been busy, I don't have any other excuses!:biggrin1: I went for a Harley ride today for the first time in months! Boy, it felt so good. It only bothered my foot when I had to use it to brake, but other than that it went well. We went up to a Harly thing by us, now that I couldn't stay too long because it was a lot of standing and that does hurt after a while. Eileen - congrats on the 50 pounds! That's a whole big bag of dog food!:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: Sherry - The nascar race is on tonight! Bet you and DH will be watching it huh? Hopefully my boy will be above 25th tonight so he can lock in the race. Patty - Hope you have a great birthday! Pat - I am jelous, I would love to have a breast reduction! (along with a lot of other stuff too) he-he! Have fun at the banquet! Ya aren't going to drink while you're there are ya? Kat - Your avatar is awsome! You look like a different person! Just lovely! Dianne - I agree, we need some new pictures! Darcy - I bet you are at the cabin. Darcy has the cutest cabin! Cindy - Take it easy today, you deserve it lady! Mandy - Have you got your puppy back yet? I use to have one that would take off runnng for about 2 weeks, then when he was totally wore out he would come home and not be able to move for two weeks! Well, I am going to go prop up the foot for a while, then try to get some laundry done and some house cleaning done. Catch you all later, have a great day!

Good Morning Y'all! I just can't seem to get caught up on here! Gosh, you miss a day of posting and you miss a lot! I went to the foot doctor yesterday, he said I could just keep doing what I am doing. It is getting better, but it will never go away completely. I need to have special supports made for my feet, but not right now. He wants them to heal up really good before he tries that. So, I guess I just keep babying them. :eek: Pat - Spend all the time you can with your DM, we just never get to have them long enough. I hope she had a great birthday! Natesmom - Honey, most people know what the real truth is. I think a lot of older people go through that. My heart goes out to you. Darcy - Hope you get that exercising in. I started Monday doing some leg lifts, etc. I would rather walk, but that is out of the question. I wouldn't make it very far with this foot anyway! Beanie - Glad you had a good time. Nice to see ya back here too! Dianne - Glad Lucy is better! They are so much like kids, we hurt so much when they get sick. Eileen - I don't know why you are having problems, I have been to every site on here even the hackers to lock/delete them and haven't had any problems. Are you sure it is from this site? Mary - Hey girl, don't feel too bad, I think between parents nipping the childs ear and them cutting all their hair off, that they all go throught this at some time or another. Mandy - Your trip sounds wonderful. We definately need pictures after the make-over. I'll keep dd in my prayers. Anne - Glad to see you here today! I love your avatar too! Patty - Hang in there girl, good things come to those that wait! Cindy - I saw you get your hand slapped! I just laughed, I thought you would come back and get her, I guess it was best to just walk away! Well, I know I forgot some people, but I am running late now. I have to grab my lunch and run not walk out the door! Later my friends!

My lengthy (and somewhat) detailed journey of being banded.
Welcome to bandland! I enjoyed your story, I am sure it will help others that are going to Mexico for their surgery.
