:thumbup:Hi All: Was banded on 11-19-08. On puree now but am trying to get liquids down. I don't think I have been getting enough Protein because I feel really tired. Going to drink the Protein drinks at least twice a day. I realized today it has only been 3 weeks since the banding and that the doctor did say six weeks for healing. Everyone is different. Even with it being laproscopic surgery we have to remember it was still surgery. I think I should be up and running a mile lolololol. I never ran a mile in my life but I hope to walk a mile or two. I am so glad I had this done. I think all of us will be glad. I appreciate all the advise that I read about from all those who have gone before me and had this done. I have lost 28 pounds since I started on the pre-op and after surgery. Good luck to all. I get my first fill on Dec 23-08. Let me know if anyone else still feels tired and sore.

Hi Everyone: Findly found 60+. Getting ready for my seminar. Have made up my mind to have the lapband. I know I have to go through a lot so I certainly will be looking for encourgement. Hope everything goes smoothly. Got a lot of health issues as I know you all have probably had. Have fought this weight problem all my 68 yrs. (born and looked like a little butterball my mother used to tell me. ) Just want to feel better and not have to worry about this. 252 lbs with a BMI of 47 5'1. I am praying the doctor excepts me because I am over 65 but my health is at stake . Hope Medicare will cover and supplemental too. Live in Michigan and my PCP has recommened a fine doctor. my seminar is 9-24-08. I would welcome any encouragement and info. thanx so much Pegg

thanx Tom:

Hi Everyone: I am a 68 year old female and have been researching the Lapband surgery for a long time. My first seminar is 9-24-08 and am looking forward to getting this started. This is a great place to find out information and if any of you have any advise I would greatly appreciate it. Is anyone out there as old as me? thanx so much Pegg
