If you have the surgery Aug 8th it will be 6 weeks before the wedding. I see no reason for you not to have it done. I am 8 weeks post op and feeling absolutely fantastic!! Recovery should be over by then. You will still be healing inside but you should be able to have a blast at the wedding too!! If it was me I would go for it!! Good Luck and God Bless!! Fran xo

Take it from one bandster to another, it does get better!! I too was not able to sleep in bed for about a week out from surgery. I was sleeping in my recliner which was the only comfortable position for me. I was glued together like Humpty dumpty, so I didn't have staples or sutures and the healing was real fast. The pain was minimal and I never had to take pain meds which I was happy about. I did however have the gas pains that were excrutiating at first but once I knew what they were I walked and walked and walked which I was told would help and it did!! I am happy with Looosssiiieee (named my band) and would do it again in a heartbeat! Good luck to all you LOSERS!! LOL. God Bless!!! Fran xo

I too am a 54 yr young grandma who was banded on the 19th of May and have lost 38 lbs so far!! I definitely would do it again!! Good luck with your surgery all you future LOSERS!!! LOL. God Bless!! Fran xo

We all need support one way or another. This is a great site and you can make great friends here. I chose to have the lapband sugery and happy that I did. I have a friend who had RNY and lost drastically fast. She was sick most of the time. That is not the way I wanted to live. I may be losing 2 lbs a week but thats okay with me!! Slow and steady is better and healthier. I wish all that decided to go with the lapband much success. WE ARE ALL LOSERS!!! LOL!!! Have a blessed day!!! Fran xo

I know what you mean about the pain. It can be excruciating but you need to walk...walk...walk!!! and drink...drink...drink!! I had taken 2 weeks off from work and was feeling fantastic the first day back. I was lucky and only had the glue...yea they glued me together again...LOL...just like Humpdey Dumpdey...LOL. I also used the GasX strips for the gas...helped alot!! It will all be worth it in the long run. I am now 8 weeks post op and have lost 38 lbs already. Just stick to the plan and it works!!! Good Luck and God Bless!!!! Fran xo

Enough already!!! Grow up and drop it!!

YEA KIKI!!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! Fran xoxo

Thanks Gayle!!! I am glad you UNDERSTAND where I am coming from. Others think otherwise. I am sure I can get others to meet and discuss thier journeys. Fran

The two of you are taking this way out of perspective. I just want to have a group for support here in Henderson for those of us who dont want to travel all over the place. I never said that your group shouldnt meet just that those who want to have a group here in Henderson to message me. What is the big deal??!!! Do me a favor and just drop it already. Have fun with your group!!! I cant believe the two of you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!! FRAN

I wasnt digging at anybody. If you read the message clearly I stated that those of you that want to have a group that socializes at luncheons or dinners, that may be your thing. I just want a group that meets and discusses things on their journeys to losing weight. Some people CANT handle having food in front of them. Because I asked to have those interested to private message me, its an issue?? Sorry that bothers you or anyone else from the group that I originally tried to start. I dont want to fight about this, it isnt worth it. Good luck on your journeys!! Fran

My intention to have the support group is just that... a support group. There are some of us who do not want to go to eat every time. That is one of the reasons most of us needed the surgery to begin with. I just want a group to sit around and talk about the ups and downs of the journey they are going through. We could meet at the District for coffee and sit around just getting to know each other. The reason I wanted to start the group was so that I wouldn't have to travel clear across town for support. Those that have already met for lunch and future dinner, if thats the kind of group you want to have that is fine too. Those who just want to have a support group let me know in private message on my profile. We can then make plans to meet. Not wanting to step on anyone's toes with this. JUST WANT SUPPORT!!! NOT FOOD!!! LOL!!!! Thanks, Fran xoxo

PRAISE JESUS!!! HE IS ALL GOOD!!! THANK YOU JESUS!! Fran xoxo

Jesus I pray that you watch over Joan. Put your loving arms around her as she heals from the surgery. I pray that she has a speedy recovery and does not go through a lot of pain. Jesus I know you are there for all of us. I pray that you watch over all of the bandsters and thier families. Amen Fran xoxo

THAT IS AWESOME!!! Sorry I won't be able to make the meet and greet on Sunday. Finances are tight this week. I will make it a point to be at the next one. Fran xoxo
