The day is finally here. I can't believe it and it is a bit surreal. I was very fortunate in my whole lapband process. I started with the initial consult 1/08/11 and was blessed to have my surgery scheduled exactly one month later 2/08/11! I thank my awesome insurance Anthem Blue Cross, my awesome Dr's office Dr. Michael Feiz, and I thank my family and friends for their support. I am nervouse, excited, and so happy about what's to come. I am ready to claim my life back and prepared for the journey on the way

I am so very excited for you! Good luck!! Can't wait to hear how it all goes!!

Thank you sooo much. I will be sure to update asap!

I am to be banded in a few weeks and would like to hear your feedback on how you feel and how you are eating.

Best of luck to you.. I am a bit scared but excited at the same time.

Wow! How exciting!! By now, you are probably banded and, maybe, not feeling so great. Keep in mind, you will be feeling great soon. The starting point is the hardest ad it will get easier from there. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see how completely successful you are! Cheers to the new you!!

Thanks you all. I am home and feeling better. I am on liquids and the pain meds and rest are really helping with the pain.
