Hi babyface. I am also in St. Louis and would love to talk sometime! Looks like we're close to the same age, too! I get banded...tomorrow!

I am not from the area, but am up for chat. We are all about the same age.

I have been banded a bit longer and no much too much about the early days that you are currently going through.

Kaitiana, how did your surgery go?.

HeatherO: My surgery went very well. The surgeon told my friend that it was "textbook perfect" so I'm hoping that it continues to go that way! I am 3 days post-op now and feeling pretty good. Just tired, achy, and very gassy. In fact, my worst pain comes from the gas rather than the incisions or port site. I am just taking Gas-X periodically, and Tylenol for the pain, and walking for 5-10 minute intervals every 30-60 minutes, depending on how I feel.

And of course I've been napping a lot!

How are things going with your pregnancy? =) I am very curious about that since I hope to start trying to conceive in a year or so and I've been lurking around the pregnancy part of LBT.
