I've had a wonderful response of people wanting to be listed on the August Roster. That isn't anything official or anything, I just wanted to know who was going when so that I could send wishes and support their way as their date came closer. BUT, then I decided that maybe others would like to know too. Maybe some folks who are going at the same time will want to chat among themselves. Maybe folks who are in the same region would like to chat. Who knows!

I'm no moderator, but I thought that I'd start this thread off so that we can all develop a community of sorts. I hope that everyone is reading other groups too, but it would be nice to get our group interacting alot so that this becomes a group you just plain want to visit everyday!

Tell us what you are doing today, lapband related or not. Tell us about yourself, or let folks know that your profile is filled out so that we can learn more about you there. Let's share, share, and share!

Thank you for all your input. My husband and I talked and are thinking we will just wait and do it another time. Honestly I was just really worried about him. This is our week of vacation from work before my-stepdaughter goes back to school and we were going to do all these things and I didn't want my surgery to impact that too much. But he seems fine with waiting and just going to the park or something.

But thank you again for all your help and I will post when I get back from surgery tomorrow...I can't believe its tomorrow!!!

I am so glad that you were able to change your plans! You will be glad. Good Luck tomorrow!

Hey Hottie! I see you've already got alot of great advice. There's no way I would be able to do that 2 days after! I'm 4 days post-op and today's the first day that I have gone and gone without laying down to take a nap.

I think you guys have made a wise decision! Unless you went on Saturday or Sunday and got a wheel chair????

Good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!

Thanks everyone for the B-Day wishes!

Cutie, a lovely belated happy birthday to you. I haven't been on in a couple of days and getting behind trying to get prepared for surgery and finish a school paper. I'm glad I saw it was your birthday and I wanted to pipe in really quick and offer my best wishes to you! Bonnie

A Huge Welcome to the board. There are lots of folks being done this week so excitement is in the air! Congrats on your "reservation for your trip to bandland."

Im so glad to have last week behind me!

I have significantly less discomfort from gass etc. but im concerned about how weak i feel. im thinking i need to get more protiene in me. i need to get the GNC to get some protiene bullets because these shakes are making me gag....for real!

Any way good luck to all the rest of you August Allstars!!!! Hope you have a great day. Thinking of those getting banded this week!

Happy Monday!!!!

Happy One Week Bandaversary!

Can you believe our group is now starting to have bandaversaries???? Just think in what 2 - 2 1/2 weeks we all will be banded!

Question: Does anyone know how long it takes before it doesn't hurt to sleep on your stomach? I guess that a good question for the mean forum huh?

Gee I am now in my 5th day after surgery and I sure couldn't do a theme park unless in a wheel chair with lots of liquid to drink and a lot of easy access bathrooms. Maybe in my 20's but I'm 60 and I would wait another week or so.

Good Luck
