Hello everyone. I was just banded on Mon. 2/18/08 and am going to the gym on Friday to see what I can do. Everything feels great and I haven't been slowed down any at home. I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions as to what I should work on, what to stay away from. Any Advice at all would be helpful. I'm planning on asking the trainers for help, but I would love to hear from people that are actually going through the same thing as me. Take care

I wanted to wish a fellow South Carolina bander Good Luck! I live in Greenville SC. Best wishes. James

Hello everyone. I had my surgery on Monday 2/18/08. I was very nervous although I would never tell my wife. She nearly had a nervous break down for me. I was suprised at how easily I have been able to get back on my feet and start walking for excercise. I knew that if I chickened out and didn't have this surgery that I would be dead with in a few years. The wieght was killing me with out a doubt. Now I have a new life and I can't wait to start living it. Everyone has been so supportive and it only makes me want to do whatever I have to do that much more. Everyone take care and just trust in the lord. He has always been there for me, even when I didn't notice.

I had my surgery Mon. 2/18 As far I'm concerned I just left in the hands of the lord. My wife and I went to church Sun. and I placed a prayer request in the offering basket with out her knowing. They called while I was in surgery. As far as the pain, it was very minimal. I was up and walking the hallways late that afternoon. The liquid diet hasn't been to hard to handle. I actually feel full, maybe it's all in my head. I think it's normal to be nervous, but if you are really ready for you old life to be over and want the new life to begin, then just have faith and trust you have made the right decision.
