I'm pretty excited this morning and only a teeny bit nervous. Sort of feels like I'm standing on the edge of a high cliff contemplating jumping off to fly or sticking to the ground that I know so well. But let me tell you, I want to FLY!

I just wanted to pop by here and tell those of you who are currently jumping through the insurance hoops to be strong. Stay on your path because you CAN make it, as frustrating as it may be at times. Find a Surgeon's office with a GREAT staff and they will help you along the way and make it so much easier for you. The staff at Dr Schmitt's office helped me SO much with getting all the paperwork and testing done.

See y'all on the other side!

Praying all goes well with your surgery! Look forward to hearing all about you and how things went.

congratuations!!!!!!!

Good for you! Don't forget your PJs and slippers, hospital gowns are pretty revealing.

Things went just fine, other than a delay in time. Evidently the first surgery of the day had some complications. But I came through it perfectly fine.

Thanks all for your words of encouragement. I wrote out a detailed 'report' of sorts on my blog if you would like to read.

Glad to hear that things went well. I too was banded on the 22nd and things have gone well. I am in some discomfort and this is why I am awake at 3am. Now the slow transition to regular food begins.

Good luck to you and a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear that you came through okay! Good lcuk on the "new" you. Karen

Welcome to the bandster family. Take it easy, walk as you can, and follow your post-op instructions. Heating pad on the shoulder helps with the gas pain. You should be feeling pretty good in a week.
