Leona06's Band Day is Today!!!

Pray that she arrives in Bandland safely. I talked with her mom BarbaraC and she will post an update when she returns home to night.

YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!! Good Luck!!!

Good Luck Leona. We have a spot for you on the bench.

Leona,

Congrats on your banding! :grouphug:

Dr. Averbach banded me - so we'll have to compare notes when you're feeling better!:gossip:

Dr. Averbach banded me too--on January 19, and I have lost nearly 70 lbs. How did you like him? I've had two fills so far. Did he do your first fill in the hospital under fluroscope?

Yes, I do like him. He is very professional and business minded, but he has begun to loosen up more since I've gotten to know him. My first fill was this past Monday in the office, but he told me the next fill would be in the hospital so he could check on things.

Congratulations on your wonderful weight loss. You've been doing so well! You give me such inspiration!

Hey Leona, looks like we've got our own mini club of St. Agnes girls! :grouphug:

Congrats,

Your now a bandster. You're in my thoughts and prayers and hope your surgery was uneventful.

Well it has been a long day. Leona arrived at the hospital a little before 9 AM for a 11 AM surgery. They were able to start early and in less time then it took for me to watch a move they were done. She was in her room by 1:30. She is moving around with less pain then I had, for which I am so glad. Well I am tired so I am going to bed.

Thanks for the update...So glad she is doing well.

WELCOME TO BANDLAND BOTH OF YOU!! :clap2: :clap2:

YEAHHHH!! You did it! I'm so happy to hear that things went great for you. I pray thing continue to go this way for you.

YEAH CONGRATULATIONS......You are now officially banded!!!! Gone and sing about that now. LOL:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Congrats Leona!

Hello All Leona's home and wants me to post this for her:

Thanks for your prayers. I am in lot of pain today and having problems getting in and out of bed. Mom has to help me but it is better then sleeping in the recliner. Well I am tired so I am going back to bed. Leona06

Thank you Barbara tell Leona to chew all of her vitamins and keep sipping. Both of you guys should be strolling around the living room and up the halls frequently. Get better you guys, see you lighter.

Congratulations Leona:clap2: :clap2:

I am glad you are home even though you don't feel that good but time will help with that. Take it easy and do what your doctor says and you'll be up and running track in no time:).

Welcome to bandester land;) and get some rest:notagree
