Thank you Firebolt for the chuckle. When I had my fill on December 20th the nurse came at me with the needle and told me to relax. I swear the needle was the size of Montana.:omg: But there was NO pain so I guess I will relax next time. I think it was more the fear of not knowing what would happen. The holidays have been ok for me. I am glad they are about over though. It was nice this year to be able to focus on family and not food. Keep smiling everyone we are one step closer to where we want to be

Today was my first day back to work. I did ok. I was tired but made it the whole day without any pain. I still have to remember to drink something all day. I work on the phones all day and I forget. Just remember to take thing one step at a time. Everything will work out. (at least that is what I am told) Keep smilin:D

Hello all I am new to posting on a web site so bear with me. I feel like I shouldn't be here. I had the band on 11/20/07 , but after leaving the hospital I haven't had the problems others seem to. I don't have the pain from the surgery,or the lightheadedness (is that a word, or did I spell it wrong?) I have my one week checkup today, and go back to work on 12/3/07 I think the only problem I am haveing is I want to chew something. I have thought about nails, they are a good source of Iron but hard on the teeth...lol I am on all liquids right now, and probably for another week. Thank you for letting me chime in.You all give me encouragment that the hurdles can be overcome. Thank You
