    Thanks GloGirl: I did not mean to ignore your good wishes, I just happened to re-read all entries and noticed you good wishes. I am feeling good, I weighed this morning and am down 12 pounds in 9 days. Oh Baby Baby:heh:

    Sophie248 - My stomach itches like crazy, and my port site is real tender now. I have noticed that the swelling is going down more and more each day. Hope you are improving also.

    You will be so happy when it is over. I read all of the things to look forward to on LBT.com and was more than ready. I did my shopping early also and was packed and ready to go. This is a very exciting time in our lives. Hang in there girl - "God Ain't thru with Us Yet" :eek:

    Tammyj Thank you. Are you excited yet, or just dealing with the pre-op diet?

    Hello all March Banders: I had my surgery on Monday 3-5-07, and I am feeling fine. Just a little soreness around the port area. I am back at work - eating my mushies and enjoying every minute of it. I am officially in the worlkd of banders. I thought this day would never come. Can anyone give me infomration on how long this swelling persists and what to expect in the near future. I really missed my correspondence with you all. :heh:

    Texun - I have to pay my deductible plus some office expenses (Total $495.00) All else is covered at 100%. I am so excited about Monday - I don't care if I have shoulder pain or anything else (except regurgitation), I just want my lapband surgery to be done. I have been working on this journey for more than a year now. Hello to all you Northern Texuns. Woo Haa

    Plano Texas Girl, I live in McKinney which makes us close enough to stay in touch. I will need a friend to have those yummy protien shakes with during the spring time. Are you banded or are you waiting to be banded?

    You are so right, he has been an angel and will be right by my side during my recovery. He has even promised to walk with me and change his diet once I am able to eat solids. Too bad everyone coule not be as supportive. Makes you wonder sometimes.

    My mind is playing tricks on me. I have a bad day then a good day regarding this surgery thing. My husband and child are very supportive. My other family members (father, mother & sisters) are not nearly as supportive. Remarks by my father have made me rethink this surgery several times. I know it is just a very difficult time for any prospective surgery candidate, but I wish I had not shared my surgery date with them. I think they are suffering with their own comfort level having me as the "fat one." Fellow banders, please share your experieinces with me. I need some support at this time. Oh yeah, I am not sure who asked me but I want to reply. My insurance company is United HealthCare. My physician is Dr. Stephen V. Hamn.
