Newly Banded in Houston

Hi Everyone
I just had my band placed last Thursday, October 29th. I live in Kingwood, TX (NE Houston) and Dr. Collier (in Conroe) is my doctor.
Now that I am 5 days out from surgery, I am starting to feel back to "normal". :thumbup: I am looking forward to this journey and will be looking for all kinds of support. This seems to be a very active board, so I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.
I know a few people who have lap-bands, but now that I am going through this myself, I feel oddly isolated. :thumbup: I was trying to read through some of the posts on another site and it was all horror stories that just scared me and made me wonder if I had done the right thing! I know that I have and that this will be a wonderful tool to help me reach my weight goals. I know that there are millions of success stories out there and I look forward to hearing about those.
I look forward to sharing my journey with everyone!
Carol
