My name is Charli, I'm 32 and I joined this community in November 2010, but never really became involved. So, this will be my belated first post/introduction.

I had Lap-Band surgery on March 7, 2011. I'm healing nicely and generally don't have much pain. My one biggest problem has been the post-op diet, but I'm managing. My room mate has been encouraging me to become active on the site to find community and support from people who've been on this path, since she can only help so much having never been in my shoes. Certainly I have a local support group, but as I'm also painfully shy, it's much easier for me to open up and connect online.

So, there's that. Don't really know what else to say here, so umm .. Hi!

Charli

Welcome! Post-op gets easier and before you know it it's over and done with.
