Just wanted to say hi. I've been lurking for a while, and finally wanted to post. I am getting banded on 1/24. I have a half day of final pre-op tomorrow. It's finally getting "real." I started a blog so I could track my progress and use it as a journal, I saw that a lot of other folks do that, too. So hello! Anything you can suggest to calm my nerves would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Jen

I, too, had my Lap Band surgery yesterday. I was in and out in 6 hours. My port incision hurts like the devil and I feel full of gas, but otherwise doing much better today. I hope that the others that had surgery yesterday are doing well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping to feel good enough to catch up on my blogging tomorrow. I just set up a weight loss ticker on My Fitness Pal so I can start tracking the loss. Take care new friends!

Dear @healthy and happy and Mis73, Thanks for the warm welcome! It is encouraging reading these stories from you both and thanks for the advice. I am excited to get started, but admit being nervous reading over all the paperwork and essentially signing my life away! LOL! I will definitely keep you posted. Take care!

Dear @journey4me, I am running a self-hosted Wordpress blog only because I have been blogging about entertainment for many years. You can set up a free blog at www.wordpress.com. If you'd like to check my blog out, I have a new post coming out at 8am tomorrow morning. www.LapBandBarbie.com. Good luck!
