As a NYer I would only attend if the events were in NYC.

Hi Kathy! My doc actually used a new technique and went through my bellybutton. So, I have only one scar, and it's hard to tell how it's healing because he used surgical glue, and it makes the scab look larger. I've lost 10 lbs since the surgery. I'm actually worried I may be drinking too much. I go through 4 ounces sooo quickly. Other than hunger, I'm doing really well. Not a lot of pain. I can already sleep on my stomach.

Hi Ladies! Congrats to both of you. I too was banded on 8/21. My surgeon has a 2 week liquids policy, so I'm STARVING and totally jealous that you are both on soft foods already. Rachel
