I've just had potentially life changing bad news...how to cope, before it would of been food.... Got my band now...comforter has gone.. :-(

Hugs to you

I am sorry for your sad news and can certainly empathize. Four days after my lapband was installed, my 82 year old mother-in-law, who I am very close to, contracted pneumonia on top of her chronic COPD. Very close call, and she got to the hospital in the nick of time to save her life. My wife and I were in the ICU with her for a solid week (while I was on the post-op clear liquid diet). We are Catholic and in difficult times like this, are prayerful. It helped me get through it and I would recommend that if you are so inclined. God bless you and your whole family with love, peace, hope and the strength to endure.
