Greetings

My name is Jill - got banded on Monday 9/19. I'm a little sore still (better than yesterday though) and even coughing isn't so bad. I'm trying to stay off the pain meds today, we'll see how I do

My weight problems have been lifelong, and while losing weight was never a problem, keeping it off was, and the band for me, is my last shot at doing it *right*. I see my father and my aunt - 65 and 67 years old - so morbidly obese, and at 40 years old, I don't want to head down that road.

I hope to participate lots here

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hi Jill--congratulations and welcome!! Sounds like you are doing great; just be good to yourself and the healing will continue.

Nice to meet you!

Congratulations on your successful surgery, and I wish you many lost pounds!!

I'm new too. Banded on 9/14/05...I'm still in the scared..."Are we sure this is going to work??" phase. Good luck!

Hi Jill!

I am newly banded on 9/19 too!! Feeling so good it scares me. Typical post op pain at sites but moving and doing well. Peek at my thread under "newbie" i posted more info about me today.

I wish us botha speedy and easy recovery. On to thin & healthy!

Welcome to bandland. I'm in the same boat as you, have been able to loose weight but never could keep it off.

Welcome, Jill, Bjorkturf, & Wonderkidsmom. I am fairly new to this also. Being scared is normal. Just take your time, and everything will fall into place!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!! I am glad to see you are doing ok. Good luck with your weight lost.
