Can't sleep right now so I thought that I'd finally sign up on this site. I just had surgery 08/07/06. Still trying to get my meds worked out and I'm excited :clap2: as well as nervous about this step. Was in alot of pain the day of surgery but would be great to hear ideas to get back to "normal" about my daily life. I'm so glad that I don't feel alone anymore!

Welcome to LBT and to lapband! It gets better each day:D Just start reading all the threads on here and before you know it, you'll be a pro! :scared: :cool:

Congratulations on your new band. You will be loving it at times and hating it at others but in the long run you will LOVE it. I'm glad you got some sleep.

I'm New as well, Scheduled for 9-14-06. Looking forward to it I think, having Surgery in Mexico with Rumbaut. Lots of question still... approval was very quick and shockingly sudden . Less than 24 hours for the approval, so I'm still getting used to the idea.

All of you have done so well :clap2: , I can only hope I too can will do the same. Looking forward not back.

Congrads to you both. One thing that was good for me. Sitting in a recliner made getting up much easier. The bed and couch were no no's. Take care and know you are not alone.

Welcome to the both of you,

In a very short while you'll be experienced bandsters and losing weight right and left. Advice? Sip, walk, let yourself heal the first few weeks and try not to worry about losing weight. If you have a question, ask, we've all been there done that type thing.

It will go by sooooo fast. I too went to Mexico and I mean from the day I checked into it I think one month later I was banded. So far, No problems, none, my first fill was last week, 1.50 in a 9.75 inamed low profile port. Mexico was fabulous as well and everyone there.

Hope all goes great for you and I will keep your date jotted down and will be praying for you for a non eventful surgery and a quick recovery.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to PM me or email me.
