Hi Kathy, I was outpatient. I went in at 7:00AM and was home about 4:00PM. And a lot of the wait was for X-ray- they were so busy I had to wait but that was what took so much time. I feel great! Again, today, I ate some cottage cheese and was not hungry. I just drank a slim-fast and feel so satisfied. I am almost in tears thinking that this is REALLY, REALLY going to work. But then I am only two days in but I feel very hopeful and encouraged. Thanks for the encouragement Kathy. I appreciate it. Love and Light, Jan

Hi Everybody, I had my lap band surgery yesterday and I am doing great! I'm a little sore but that's to be expected. I was so excited today because I ate a little cottage cheese and was full and didn't want/need to eat anymore. And I have NOT been hungry! That is the most amazing feeling, not to be hungry. I hope everybody is doing well and thanks for the support and encouragement. Love and Light, Jan

I am scheduled for surgery May 13th. I will be 75 August 16th. I love my life. It is better than ever. I gained weight when I was put on some medicine and haven't been able to get it off. I have tried every diet under the sun, would lose a few pounds, gain it back and so it goes. I have a little apprehension but after several surgeries of more danger I am confident this will be the tool I have been looking for. I look forward to dispensing with diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine and high cholesterole medicine. And to have less hips and tummy will be the icing on the cake - whoops! scratch that off. So please keep me in your good thoughts and/or prayers. I am not looking to be 21 (wouldn't want to be even if it were possible) just healthier because I intend to celebrate my 100th birthday. Oh, btw, I am going para-gliding on my 75th! Thanks for all the opinions and discussions. Jan
