Well technically 1 day 23 hours and 10 min until I am banded I am just a little bit excited can u tell

I JUST LOVE NEWBIES! IT BRINGS BACK THAT FEELING WE ALL HAD AT ONCE PRIOR TO OUR SURGERIES! I think it really helps hearing the stories and journies of newbies. It sort of brings us back to that major rush of how life changing it is. I am getting the band removed and getting sleeve on May 1st so hearing your excitement helps me a lot. I am having it removed because I have a leak and my body does like the port. I don't want to scare you. Nothing bad happened. Its just a personal decision I made. Plus I will find it less costly in the future from the fills. Everyone is different and I am sure you will do great! I love your count down...think I will go make my chart too. A time chart and a weight loss chart. I put a big WL chart on the back of my bedroom door. Just for me eyes only. You will be so thankful you had it. First day or two your sore, especially where the port is at. That is normal, I found walking right away helped a lot in my healing process. Yes, there were days I didn't want to get up, but that's what the meds are for. Use them if you need them to get up and walk. Keep us posted, I am excited for you..Welcome.

I am getting mine at the end of May! So excited and nervous at the same time. Please let me know how you feel after banding.

I love the idea on a weight loss chart! Gonna go make one up and and measurements for inches. Might even put today's clothing size and as it gets smaller.

I need that motivation to remind me to move it! Thanks Hoover!
