Jack, please know that I'll be thinking about you and sending you comforting thoughts and prayers as you officially become what you've been working so hard for...for a very long time.....a healthier, new-improved YOU! This little band will help free you from those health problems, pills, needles, machines, and other paraphanelia that have held you down for so long. You'll be fine!

Ditto, Jack. I'll be thinking about you as well. Teresa

Jack, 12/21 is a very good day! sending prayers your way. Your new journey will be everything you've hoped for and more.

Banding day is almost here Jack! Prayers, well wishes and good vibes being sent your way.

Good Luck Jack! Let us know how you are doing when you can!

Jack, I'm so excited for you! You're going to be just fine. Good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery!!! Don't forget to post as soon as you feel up to it!!!

The best to you Jack on the 21st..we will all be here waiting to hear all about it.

Good Luck

Hey, Jack, don't laugh at those broth recipes! I had beef tenderloin broth and sauteed mushroom broth at a Labor Day party right after I was banded, and they tasted great (especially compared to protein shakes). And, yes, egg nog is a liquid (and pumpkin pie filling is a mushy). Good luck to you tomorrow; let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it.

Good luck all of you being banded the 21st. Seems to be a big day in bandland.

Hope your day goes smoothly and you can set aside your worries. Take it easy and let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it. My thoughts will be with you. :Bunny

Today is the big day, next time you post you will be in bandland! Good luck and post when you are up to it.
