i'm calondra and i was banded yesterday! i live in madison heights, virginia, but drove three hours north to reston to have my surgery done by dr. robert pinnar (so worth it!).

i barely feel like i had surgery! i did low carb/high Protein liquids for one week before and i've not had any problems sipping on liquids since surgery. i was in the hospital overnight and my friend drove the three hour trip back home right after i was discharged. i had planned to stay overnight in northern va, but i felt so good, i came on home!

ya'll have been a big help and encouragement to me as i've been preparing for this surgery. i'm so glad i took this step...! and i look forward to getting to know many of you better over the next several months.

Sounds like you are doing great! Keep us posted on your progress!

Calondra, I'm so happy for you, I'm glad everything is going better than planned! congratulations.. keep us posted on how things are going!

Wow Calondra! You are really doing awesome! Congratulations and good luck!
