I am so nervous and scared that I am actually shaking. I check in in a couple of hours, and from there...I just hope and pray that all goes well for me and that the surgery is a successful one. I will update all of you as soon as possible. Thanx for everything, and take care.

happy band day!

Welcome to bandland!

Good Luck and God Bless you. You will do great... this is the first step for a better life.

Congrat, Kat! I'm glad to hear all is well, and I hope you are resting and sipping your water! Cindy

I love that everyone is concerned about me; makes me feel special . I have been walking and sipping my water as well as doing my breathing exercises, so, hopefully, everything will heal up just fine. Many thanks to all of you.

Best of luck to you-hope it goes GREAT!

Welcome back...so do you feel as if you could go to work after having the band such a short time?

I just saw this thread too..

Congratulations on your new band. I wish you lots of success. Here's to a happier healthier life!

Jini, no, I am not ready to return to work yet. Although I feel a whole lot better, I still have a bit of soreness in my port area. Because I work with children with special needs and lifting is involved as well as breaking up fights, I may take off several days, maybe 9 or so, which would mark my return after Thanksgiving break.
