Hey there,

I'm new to this website and blogging in general. My LAP-BAND® is new to me as of 12/30/09 so I guess it's a year of new beginnings. I am excited to have a place to get ideas and encouragement. Look forward to watching all of us reach our goals together!

I was banded on 12/23 and am still having some sensitivity in my port area, but I am so glad I had the surgery. This is going to be a very exciting year for all of us and I am glad we are all in it together. Nice to have you here.

Yea my port still hurts too even had some bleeding the last couple days but MD said all is well. Nice to have you a week ahead of me....gives me an idea of whats around the next corner. You have done great with your loss...keep up the great work!

Most of the weight loss was required for my insurance to pay for the surgery. Then my surgeon wanted me to lose some more prior to the surgery to reduce my liver. Now I am trying to lose it just for me!

It does get better, too, by the way. Each day my port sensitivity is getting better.
