Hello all, I'm Rain and I had my surgery done on the 10th of July (two days after my 31st birthday). So far I've had managable pain, but I am starting to be irritated by the constant pressure in my chest. I ate my first thicker liquid foods today and although I didn't feel like I overate, I suppose I did since I am tasting the Soup over and over again. So, what do you do to get past the initial grumpiness? Also, I'd give my left arm for a pretzel...how pathetic is that? Rain

Hi ladies, Thanks so much for your welcome. Pat is doing such a great job, I'm so proud of him...but, at the same time, I am JEALOUS as heck!! Alexandria, Pat told me that you met at the support meeting. He said that you are a sweetheart and very inspirational. And you're right...he is a super nice guy. Looking forward to getting to know all of you! Rainer

Hi all, My husband Squale had lapband 6 weeks ago, is down 55lbs and now it is my turn. I am going to the initial consult next week, the nutritionist and psych the week after and hope to have surgery the first week of July. I've been fat my entire life save a few years as a child...and, after having twins and a singleton in 22 months, decided it was time to make time for me! So, here I am waiting for insurance approval and a go ahead from the dr. Looking forward to meeting all of you further! Rainer
