Hello All!

Tomorrow morning is the day! I get banded ladies and gents. I've got my rx's, heating pad, liquids, gas-x, chapstick, loose clothes, and this feeling of anticipation. The day is finally here. For those of you who have speaking with me on the board you know that I have been working really hard to listen to my body. My goal was to begin retraining my brain before being banded. As with everything else in my life I find that if I prepare myself I tend to do well with what I do. I've learned so much just getting ready for surgery, being on the pre-op diet, and I've already had a few non scale victories. I managed to complete my pre-op diet with out trouble, I've listened to my body every step of the way and I feel like a million bucks. I work tonight and then I am off to surgery tomorrow. Any last words of wisdom.....

I was just wondering how you are doing as well. Keep in touch!

We are all checking in with you sweetie...hope you are okay...please give us a peep or two will ya!!!

Hello all! I have been on electronics restriction (thanks to my loving boyfriend). I am back and feeling great! Surgery went very smoothly. I did have a pretty good size hernia that had to be repair but get this I didn't get the dreaded back pain from all the gas and stuff. My pain was minimal I did a lot of moving around that first week...with limits of course. Thank you for all you thoughts and prayer....banded finally and 11lbs down!

YAAY!! So glad to hear from you, and glad that you are doing well!

Hooray!!!! So glad that you're doing well!! Was worried when we didn't hear back, but sometimes a break is necessary. Great progress do far!! Keep us posted!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes!
