Hi all,

This is Lorraine, Pat's wife. I'm writing to say that Pat is home and feeling ok. His surgery went well and aside from the terrible gas pains, he is feeling better than expected.

Good luck to those who were banded today and to those getting it done tomorrow.

We are hoping this is the start of a healthy new lifestyle change for our family.

He's officially in band-land.

Hi Pat and congratulations on being banded! Glad to hear that the surgery went well. Keep us posted on your progress. Gigi

Welcome from East Texas Pat. I have a one year bandaversary coming up in about three weeks and it has been wonderful. A few ups and downs but not enough that I would trade my band for. I am almost at goal and hope you have a great journey.

congratulations! Welcome to band land! I hope you feel better soon.

I am so pleased to hear that you are doing well! Keep hydrated and walk over anything else. It will make your recovery easier. I am only 6 days post op myself, and I am finally taking in about 300 calories. However, make sure even over eating that you drink, drink, drink!

It will help clear out everyting. Including the adverse effects of the antibiotics if they gave them to you via IV.

I am so pleased for you! Please keep us updated with your recovery!

Welcome to Bandland!

Welcome to bandland Pat! Remember to sip that water and walk as much as possible! Good Luck!

Lorraine, I am glad Pat's surgery went well. Now is the time to heal. Good luck to the both of you. Julie
