Hey all,

This is my first post! (Yay!) My band date is Apr 21. I went from feeling frustrated that it was taking so long to get here, to now feeling anxious/nervous about it! (anyone else have that same feeling?) Id love to stay in touch with any of you April'ers that want to go through the journey together!

I just had my freak put on a leash yesterday! Surgery was very easy, pleasant. Having some discomfort but no trouble with the liquid intake. Never thought broth and jello would EVER taste so amazing!!! Good luck and love to all my 4/11 bandster buds! Let's get our shrink on!

After being denied from my insurance and going through a long appeals process, I am SO HAPPY to say I was finally approved and my surgery is scheduled for 4/22/2011. Although I am extremely excited, I am nervous. But excited! Hooray!! Good luck to all of you that are getting your surgery soon!

yes i am getting my lap band on the 18th and so ready to loss this wt i am on facebook and the have all kinds of pagies on there and they are really good help and god supp if you have ? for them well i wish you luck and let me know how it goes

Just found out today that my surgery date is April 21st. I am excited and sooo nervous. I would like to be friends with anyone here and give each other encouragement and support. Everyone on these boards seems so friendly and helpful. I have no extended family nearby and have decided not to tell the ones living far away. No one in my family has as big of a weight problem as me..and they probably would say I can do it on my own. Also, my Mum would worry herself silly about it. I may tell them in a few months when I go home. I wish all of you who have had or are having surgery in April all the best .

How are all my fellow April bandsters doing? My surgery date was April 6th, I weighed 250 lbs. the day of surgery and as of today, April 25th, I'm down to 231 lbs.! How's everyones's meal plan going? I just started softs this week as per my surgeon and am returning to work tomorrow. Anyone else still have soreness at their port sight when bending and reaching??
