Finally Set The Date

hello everyone. I am a Fourth Grade School Teacher and I am having the Lap Band Surgery on August 30, 2012. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am 5'8" and 280 lbs. I look forward to being able to run around with my students and squat down. I need to finish my profile but i was so anxious to get on here and start talking to others; I forged ahead. LOL

Wish me luck!!!

    Good luck! It is not a bad recovery at all. Take it easy and have your liquids and mushies ready. Have a variety of options-salty, sweet, creamy, liquid...it helps get the calories in. Believe it or not that is the hardest part the first few days!
