I had my surgery on Friday 8/12. During the last few days of healing, a lot of questions surfaced in my mind that I couldn't have imagined to ask prior to the surgery.

I googled a lot and visited lap band sites, but none answered the questions that I had.

I am so happy to have found this forum. As of now, all of the questions that I had floating around my head have been answered by other posts. It really puts my mind at ease to know that I am on this journey with others experiencing (or experienced) the very same thing I am and that I have a place now to ask the questions as they come up.

Thank you everyone

Welcome! And, good luck to you, I hope you are healing nicely.

This is an awesome site. You will find some incredibly helpful and supportive people on here.

Some people get frustated with this site because "we" (me being one of them) likes to come on here and vent, blow off frustration and get advise, support and good ol' fashioned butt kicking when we/I have screwed up and need to get back on track. Don't let the negative discourage you. Everyone is different, feels different, loses weight differently, and progresses differently but these people are awesome to give you suggestions and explain what happened in their case. I've been slowly figuring out a lot of things I'm doing wrong that I thought I was doing right. I love these people...well, most of them

Good luck to you and welcome to being a bandster.

Welcome Aboard ! Good luck on your Journey.

Yep if you ask away, most people can answer with some kind of Been Their Done It...

Were not Doctors, just someone that might be able to help out, if you ask.

But,,, of course if it is Major, then ask your Dr..

Well I'm sure we will see you around, so.....

See Ya, Shirley.

Hi Russell. Good to have you here. Have a seat and keep reading - chances are good you'll find answers to questions you didn't even know you had.

Good luck with your weight loss!
