The last few weeks I've been completely preoccupied with a work issue, but suddenly TOMORROW is my rebanding! I'm sooooooo ready to get cinched again, sooooo ready to stop closing in on an upward spiral. Holy hell, if this episode has proven anything to me it's the I NEED A BAND.

So this is it. See y'all on the flip side!! :whoo::whoo::whoo:

I hope everything is smooth sailing for you and that you have a great experience the second time around. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel like it. Becky

Prayers and best wishes for the best possible outcome, Alexandra!!!

We look forward to hearing a good report!

hope you are recovering well.

Good Luck Alexandra - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Please let us know how you are doing as soon as you are up to it!

I am happy that you are getting a new band. What a wonderful thing!!!! You are on your way back to bandland!!! Rest and let us know how it all went!!

I'm back and BANDED!! Yaaahooooo!! The surgery went well and I'm "resting comfortably" as they say. I'm soooooo glad to be on this side of the banded divide once again.

Thanks so much everyone for your concern and well-wishes! Tonight I'm feeling lousy, of course, but if history is any guide I'll be feeling just fine by the end of the week. Looking forward to two days of vegging out!!

Alexandra,

Congrats on your reband...Glad it went well. Who did your surgery?

Enjoy your two days off...don't tell Pat, but I kind of milked an extra day out of it. HEAVENLY!!!!

Be well.

Hi Rain! I had Dr. Abkin again, though I know Dr. Bertha was there and they were both operating today. I hardly remember seeing the doctor, though; i'd already been given the first drug of the anaesthesia cocktail and was feeling a little loopy. And though I know I saw him afterwards, I don't remember that *at all.*

Thanks so much for checking in, and I really hope to meet you someday. Say hi to Pat for me!

YAHOO! I am grinning from ear to ear! Will talk to you when you are a tad bit better.

Congratulations on your rebanding.

I'm so glad you are finally rebanded. Take it easy, walk and sip....of course you know this already. ~Mandy

Great news, Alexandra! You cut that red tape like no other--congrats!

Fantastic news! I am so glad that everything went as planned. Congratulations Alexandra.

YEA!!!!! You are no longer our "honorary banded person" of the forum! You are back to being ... One Of Us. (Insert theme song to Twilight Zone...)

Good to see you are doing well. Anything gained during the infamous unbanding can quickly be lost. You'll do GREAT!

Welcome back to bandland! Glad things went so well for you! Take it easy and get some R & R while you are at it!
