So, you're heading to Mississauga tomorrow, and surgery on Tuesday? Wooo!

Just wanted to wish you a good trip, uneventful surgery, and speedy recovery! Let us know when you get home and how it goes! Bring a camera and take lots of pictures of yourself, and the staff, you'll regret it if you don't! :confused:

Good luck :hug:

lol, gotta do wht ya gotta do!!

Hey I know what you mean Andrew. The only people that I know I am doing this are my mom and dad and they are not allowed to tell anyone.

I have been lying to everyone left right and centre. Never thought I had it in me but hey sometimes you just have to protect your right to privacy.

Hey, me too. Only a very few people know I had the band. I overheard someone talking about another lady who had it done as though her weight loss wasn't real and she had "cheated". I commented that it is still hard work no matter what tool you have to assist you. I was so happy that I hadn't told anyone I had the band. Maybe when I'm more confident but right now the way gossip in the office goes - NO WAY. So I understand how you have to tell "little while lies" to survive.

Hope everyone is having a great week. One day at a time....

At what point is it ok to take this tape off the scars? They said it would just fall off,well it's been 9 days and it looks like it was just put on despite all the showers. Not that I want to show off this lovely tummy to anyone but it really is ugly so can I just go ahead and pull them off???

astro... my tape was off in a week

As long as you can see that the incision is closed and nothing is open anywhere, you should be able to take the tape off. That's what they told me when I had my gallbadder out..
