Evening all,

I've posted recently regarding having surgery on the 11th (tomorrow), then it looked like it wasn't going to happen because of a nasty bout of conjunctivitis but now it's back on. I have to front at the hospital at 9am.

Shall keep you all posted.

Take care, Rachel.

Hi Rachel... so glad the surgery is behind you now! Sitting at the computer is tough right after sugery but glad you came in to give us an update! My best advice is to sip... sip ... sip... and walk as much as you are able. I slept on the couch for the first week post-op because I could prop myself up into more of a sitting position.

You have to edit your signature to add stats to the bottom of your posts... if you go to quick links that will be one of the options. Sending you wishes for a quick recovery!

Welcome to bandland! Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Rachel I don't think TrishS would mined me saying that she weighs 330 right now and she hasn't been banded yet but is well on her way to getting it in April. She was feeling a bit upset that she was going into the band at a heavier weight than some of us. You could be a VERY GOOD support for her. She stays on the threads alot and would be a great friend.You 2 should pm eachother .

Also congratulations on getting your band and I'm glad you are doing better.Your doing wonderful with your weight lose.
