I am ready for ya too. How exciting for you.

Very entertaining writing.......I giggled at the way you wrote this but also felt sorry for your pain. Thanks for the lesson. Not banded yet but will keep this in mind.

wow, that was great what you posted. I am going to think that way too. Thank you for the post. Judy

Oh great, I am in my 50's also and waiting to have this lap band thing done. Well, really I am on my first stepping stone so I have a 6 month wait. I guess I have to go thru a lot before the surgery but I am taking one day at a time. You just stay positive for me and keep me posted on how you are doing and would love to know what you had to do to get this far. Judy

Oh my, I did not know you can stretch your pouch. But first I am happy you have that positive thinking and you are loosing that weight. Now, regarding the stretching of the pouch. I thought they can just tighten it up. I know if you have the other operation you can stretch that and then there is nothing they can do for ya but like I said I thought they just tighten the band. I am just going into this. I had my first appointment last Friday and now I have to go to a 4 hour group meeting which I can not believe someone could talk to a group of fat people for 4 hours and then the nut doctor and then the diet person and then I don't know what they will want me to do. Sounds like a long journey before I get banded. So, could you explain to me about stretching the pouch. Thanks, Judy
