Thanks so much for sharing! I'm glad you are doing well.

And I LOVE the princess balloon. I'll have to make sure I note that on my BF's instructions!!!!

Thanks for sharing Marine. I know its crazy but one of my closest friends had the surgery and she suggests flapping your arms like a chicken to get the gas out. She also said she experienced no shoulder pains from gas like other people in her support group had who hadnt "flapped". Im hopefully joining you in the banded world shortly! Be well! :rolleyes:

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer and I'm 28. I met with my surgeon today for my consultation and he's hoping to get me in for sugery the third week of June. I'm really excited. I want to do this now :crying: Your success stories have really been inspiring!! I look forward to getting to know more of you better!!

Hey everyone. I'm Jamie. I'm 28...and a half. I was banded on 3/31/08. I'm single and have been for way too long, no kids. Just me and my little dog. I've lost close to 30 pounds so far. I've had my first fill (well technically I've had one fill then 2 hours later an unfill, then a week later a fill). I'm really glad I stumbled onto the 20's board. Nice to have people around who are the same age.

Oh, I forgot to add that I'm a college graduate with a business degree, but I'm actually going back to school starting this semester for culinary classes.

Hi Jennifer and Jamie. Welcome to the 20's thread.

Jennifer how exciting to be so close to your potential band date. I still have a few hoops to jump through first. But I think its looking like July for me.

Jamie 30lbs thats great! Keep up the good work! And youll find the right person for you when the time is right. Usually when your not looking I know that sounds cliche but Ive always found it to be true.

Hi Jamie...we sound so much a like...I'm also 28 (and a little more than a half), single for a long time, and have two dogs (one big and one small). It's awesome that you have lost 30 pounds in less than two months! I'm really getting excited about having my surgery. I can't wait to talk to my doctor's office on Tuesday, to actually set my date. I'm nervous, which I'm guessing (ok, hoping) is normal. I'm enjoying reading about everyone's successes. I can't wait until I'm sharing mine :biggrin:
