So well said! Even before my lapband I always noticed that I only had energy when I was movin' & shakin' more often! Bottom line is you gotta burn more than you are putting in! Best of luck!:thumbdown:

I am having my surgery tomorrow. Wish me luck! I will do my best to keep you posted with the details! I'm so excited! :w00t:

Hello everyone! My name is Natalie and I am going to be banded on Feb. 2nd! YAY! I was just wondering if any of you guys get together for walks or exercise or anything? I just thought it would be nice to have some kind of walking or hiking buddy. For those of you that have had the surgery, how long did it take you before you felt fine to exercise? :thumbup:

Thanks for your responses everyone (some good advise)! That's cool that we are having surgery the same day dolphanatic! I am so excited, I can't wait to just get the surgery over with!

I have my surgery date set for Feb. 2nd and I am super excited. I am a pretty private person when it comes to my weight and health and I was wondering if anyone had an excuse for what kind of surgery you were having. I was planning on telling some of my friends that I had some kind of surgery but, I'm not interested in telling people about the band. Of course my family and close friends know, but I am talking about the people at work. I want to have some kind of excuse for missing work and having scars (in a bathing suit). So basically, my question is, what kind of surgery seems reasonable to tell people I am having? Has anyone else done this? Maybe I'm being ridiculous but it's a personal choice. Good luck to everyone!!!
