This is my first thread to this forum. I live in Texarkana and will have my Lap-Band surgery here next Wednesday.

I feel excited, nervous, scared, tired (and a few other emotions) with the upcoming procedure and lifestyle change. I hope this will give me the help I need.

I am doing this for health and lifestyle reasons. I want to lose weight to be more healthy for myself and my children. I want to feel like playing with them instead of tired all the time. I want to have my youngest son stop calling me "Big Daddy"...

In high school I used to run 1/4 mile relays, 1/2 mile sprints and 1 mile races. Boy; how things change with the years.

I love to travel and hope I can take more trips this year. I just want to get to a healthier size.

I'll post more later... Thank Y'all,

THJ

Good Luck, I am still waiting for a date, hopefully I will know tomorrow.

Keep us posted and read through all these, they answer more questions than any of the doctors & help staff can.

Hi there! Wish you lots of success with your surgery and life with your Lapband. I was sore for 3-4 days after surgery, but now am feeling just as normal as ever. First fill is 9/13/07. Looking forward to losing more weight.
