Congratulations. I hope you have a wonderful lapband journey. Make sure and let us know how everything goes. Make sure and have a little pillow for the ride home for getting in and out of the car and any little bumps. Again, congratulations.

Good luck! Everything will go just fine. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Congrats!!!!! :D

I was so nervous before surgery... But it's so much easier than it seems. I'm sure you'll do great!

You will do great. Use a heating pad on your stomach starting on day 2 for a few days - it saved me. Relax and enjoy some down time and get lots of sleep. Let us know how it goes!!!!

You can do this! My surgery is Tuesday morning. Good Luck! :)

I hope everything went ok today!! let us know how you are when you can!

Best wishes, (((hugs)))). Karen

I am in Maryland. I'm feeling a lot better today. I just had some chicken and stars soup and I'm about to have some chocolate pudding. My incisions aren't as sore today. I'm still tired.

Every day has been better ! Had my cottage cheese and it never tasted so good !!
