Hi All!

Just got my insurance approval! My Drs. office called and set up September 8 for my LapBand! I can't wait!:biggrin:

Maybe we could share our journey together!

TBLightning - I'm driving to Tampa this weekend to see our grandchildren. Glad to hear your surgery was successful and you're on the way to a healthier you!

Carolyn

haha.. that is too funny about your mama. Yes, they make me laugh out loud and I feel like I am transported in time. i started reading them years ago and went to get 14 last night at walmart but they did not have it.

Patty!!!

I LOVE that you identify with the books!! I was so obsessed with Janet's books...I got worried when I need the next one, they would be checked out...I told my hubby...I will just be a minute in the library..I am getting the next book...lol...I walked out with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13!! I would turn it in as soon as I read it! Then I got mama hooked...she's turned very sassy since reading them... lol..she dyed her hair RED 3 wks ago!! She's 68!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GETTING BANDED THIS WEEK AND NEXT!!!! I got banded on Friday 9/19 and each day I wake up I feel so much better and stronger!!!

where were you banded at? I was banded 9/23 at Palms of Pasadena by Dr. Rehnke ... how about you? Really good after surgery, sore second day though .. but I'm better tonight! I'm so excited about my new journey!

I will be going to be banded on the 30th of Sept I have 1 day to go I am very nervous!

I was nervous too ... but it was the easiest, simpliest surgery I have ever had done!

Tell them you are nervous, and they will give you something sooner to take the edge off.

I'll be praying for you! and waiting to hear all about how your experience, everyone I have talked to has had easy, smooth surgeries and so will you!:biggrin:

Thank you so much for the kind words

April, We share the same date and I'm nervous also. Big day, big decision. I'm excited, but definitely concerned. Please get in touch after your surgery. We can compare notes. My prayers are with you. Good Banding, Carolyn

As September comes to an end, cheers, best wishes, and good luck to all the September banders!!!

I had my surgery yesterday.

Man am I in pain.

I didn't think it would hurt this much but what was I thinking?

I cannot lay down without my tummy burning and aching.

So I am sleeping in a chair.

Getting up and about.

Walking as much as possible in 10 min incriments.

I have a Q-pump that feeds pain med to my port area.

But it still hurts.

I'm trying to sleep as much as possible.

I'm trying to stay on top as far as taking my meds.

I hope this gets better fast.:thumbdown:

Hi my fellow Sept bandsters:wink_smile:

I was banded on Friday , Im now 4 days post op and doing well , My incisions are clean & cut well , Im off pain meds , taking liquids down well and walking about good .

The worst pain was the gas pain , jeeeezzz that was sore but the pain went after 24 hours ...

Good luck to u all :thumbdown:

Congratulations! You will do great. This was the easiest surgery I have ever had.

I so agree with you. I was banded on the 3rd. I NEVER had real pain. I was sore like you had done too many sit ups. It has been so easy so far.

Hi everyone!! I got my band sept 25th!!! The pain wasn't much for me at all the first few days. My port area is hurting now though for some reason. I thought it would get better not worse. :thumbup: Over all I'm doing well.

Hating the shake stage! The weight loss is really keeping me going! :drool:

I've lost 12 lbs so far including 1 wk post op! :cool2:

Keep up the good work all!!!

I just wanted to say CONGRATUALATIONS to all my fellow September BandSTARS!!! Good luck to all of us! May we all be losers!!!:thumbup:

Teresa:wub:

May we all be losers!!!:thumbup:

Who would have ever thought I would want to be such a loser! :drool:
