first timer here!!!

hi everyone! I'm scheduled for 7-12-10...nervous and excited! Planning on lap-band, but pre op consult with Dr. Brown here in Denver, Co. I might have alot of scar tissue from previous auto accident so might have to have open surgery....and a chance might have to go the gastric bypass way.... as long as I can have either if okay by me.... I'm nervous about the 3 1/2 day liquid fasting and wonder just how hard will it be? How was the recovery time afterwards? Any information about your journey is appreciated...thanks!!:)

Hi! I was banded May 26th and it took me about a week to recover. I took 2 weeks vacation from my job and I am glad I took that extra week. By the end of the two weeks I felt great. Good luck on your journey.
