Hi all!

My name is Trina. I had the lap band procedure on 3/29/07 with Dr. Chae.

I was going to post yesterday, but I was in a bad mood and thinking what have I done. I feel better today and I am happy with my decision. My insisions hurt like crazy, but I'm trying to stay away from the pain meds. (we'll see how that goes).

I'm a little nervous about the insicison sites. They look like gaping holes. I don't see how they will close into little lines. They used dermabond to hold them.

I'm off to lurk.

Hope to meet you soon!

Hey Trina,

How are you feeling?

Thanks for the info!!! Dr. K does have a support group, I think they meet on the first Tuesday of the month. I have not been to one but I plan on attending regularly. I heard Dr. K has a good number of people in the group.

Sorry it took me while to return your message, I usually just link in from my e-mail. I am still figuring ot how to navigate and use this site.

Have a great day!

Hey Mal,

I am feeling really good! I haven't lost anymore weight yet. I need to exercise more. I am in the soft food stage. No problems so far!

Are you getting excited?

Trina

Trina,

I am so happy to hear that you are doing better and that you have had no problems, that is awesome!! Do you have your energy back? What has been the most difficult challenge so far? I am excited, but more worried that I will fail myself again. I am totally going to work on "positive thinking". I can do this!!
