I have found the V-8 soup to be great. It comes in a box ready to pour in a bowl and heat. They taste great and are convenient.

My birthday is Oct 14th and I was in the Hosp. having my pre-op. My surgery was Oct 27th and it went well

I just got my band on Monday (10/27/08) and I was suprised - I feel great! Surgery was fine, I have no pain, I am a little sore and I can feel the incisions - kind of pinchy when I bend or go to get out of bed. I am 52 and I thought surgery would be worse for someone older, but it wasn't for me. Try to read more of the positive experiences and go in with positive thoughts.

I really appreciate your candid writing. I am still in the process of being accepted for surgery. In the meantime I try to read up on the experiences of others. Thank you so much for all the ups and downs of your journey.
