LB's, You made me cry today!!!! .............I haven't really had any feelings about the surgery since I started the process of being banded, but today they showed back up. Reading your victories made me rejoice with happiness for all of us. I finally saw my FIRST NSV. Today, I had a pair of previous pair of tight pants from last summer on and they fell down to my ankles. YIPPEE!! Catch me if you can. Congrats. Everyone, Up twist

:Banane09: Hello Fellow Lap-Banders, When I decided to start this process a year ago, I chose not to tell anyone what was going on execpt my husband. As the date nears, the reality that I may have to tell my parents, brothers and in-laws, I am not sure what to tell them. My 17-month daughter cannot come to the hospitial and I will need help with her for the next month or so because I "cannot" pick her up. I don't want to be questioned or freak out my family; I am not sure what to tell them....What should I tell them? As far as the nay sayers (people at work); I am not telling them. Other than the fact that I have complained about the herain surgery....Nothing else should be said. Can you help me? Uptwist
