    Okay, I am feeling really good today. I was banded on the 6th, so it has been 4 days. The incisions are so tiny, except the port is about 2 inches long. My energy is still lower than normal, but bet

Please add me to the list. I am getting excited! One tip that a friend of mine who is a wound nurse said is that you can rub spirits of camphor AROUND the incision sites and it really minimizes the muscle soreness. She said she uses this on people who have had ostomies and big abdominal surgeries and it works. Just don't put it ON the incision or it will burn. ( I think camphor smells bad, but hey, if it will take the soreness out)

Allison, you are such a sweetheart for keeping track of all this for us. It really makes us feel like a team! Good luck in a few days, you will do awesome! You are going to be such a cutie pie with your weight gone!

I am the 2nd lap band operation set for Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at Beaumont, Texas, Christus St. Elizabeth Bariatric Center; my surgeon is Dr. Kevin Dean.

A control freak, my greatest fear is being knocked out. If they could just keep me conscious while the operation proceeds, I think I would feel less nervous.

Height: 5 feet 9 inches;

Current Weight: 251 lbs.;

Weight When the Center started trying to get Aetna to approve my surgery: 281 lbs.

Goal Weight: 160 lbs.

Lowest Adult Weight in the Past: 148 lbs.

Good luck and best wishes to all my May 2008 Lap Band sisters and brothers.
