I wanted to add some comments about trader joes....it is by far my favorite store and a great option for buying healthy food at a low price. I love do many of their products plus it's so nice to know you don't have to buy in bulk at Costco to get a good deal!

I got banded two weeks ago and I am still sensitive to pain. I would suggest putting ice on the area and also one thing that helped me was getting up and walking often. Everyone is different and you have to just allow your body the time to heal.

I will be having surgery on June 2nd

I wanted to let you know that I am in the same situation as yourself. I will be undergoing the lap band surgery in July and I am excixted and nervous about the life-long change. I have always struggled with obesity and I am finally happy to have something that will change my life completely.
