Hey y'all

Last Friday, Nov 18, Dr. Amy Martin of Commonwealth Surgical Group put in my Lap Band. I came home on Saturday. Today its Wednesday and I'm at work. I'm still in a little bit of discomfort...but with a little Percocet I actually feel like I'm going to make it.

I have not been hungry, at least physically, yet. My stupid old habits make me think that I'm hungry...but I know i'm not.

Looking foreword to getting thin.

Drop me a line any and all of you Virginians.

Congratulations! I hope to follow close in your footsteps. I'm hoping for a date in January.

Hi VA, And Welcome to Bandland!

Gosh, you are already back at work? Wow!

Remember, take it easy for a little while. Good luck, and sip sip sip!

I'm glad your feeling fairly well. BTW i'm Desiree, the girl that Dr. Martin gave you the phone number for and we chatted for a bit before your surgery. I had been wondering how you were doing. You will be feeling back to normal before you know it.

Keep us updated on how your doing. I've lost 30lbs in 3 months!! Dr. Martin is the best isn't she!!

Congratulations on making it through the surgery, LOL, and welcome to bandland. Good luck on your journey.

Hi Desiree!

I'm doing ok. I'm healing and feeling better. I wasn't hungry for the first week.....now hunger is letting itself known again. I'm a little scared...

Congrats on the 30lbs!!!
