Tomorrow's the big day!!! Best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery. Check in and let us know how you make out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keiko 1 Posted May 28, 2007 Hi, and welcome. Come join the May 2007 bandsters group. We've all had the surgery (or will have it) in May! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted May 29, 2007 Hi and welcome! Wow, probably by this time tomorrow you will be an official bandster, congratulations! Make sure you take it easy afterwards and let everyone wait on you. Remember, this is considered major surgery and you need to rest and heal. Don't forget, the first six weeks or so are for healing, not dieting. You probably won't see significant weight loss until after you get your first couple of fills. Good luck tomorrow. As soon as you feel up to it, check in and let us know how everything went. We will be thinking about you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xeiah 0 Posted May 31, 2007 I have weird leg cramps though. Any else had something of the like? I was told to walk a lot right away, but maybe I over did it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Silly 11 Posted May 31, 2007 I have weird leg cramps though. Any else had something of the like? I was told to walk a lot right away, but maybe I over did it?I am predisposed to flipping out over stuff like this, is this typical.. <--- that would be aimed at the old pros...

Big As Life 0 Posted May 31, 2007 no, I didn't have any leg cramps...I would call my doctor and tell them.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeiah 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Feeling better now, called the Dr. and they have not called me back. But I think it's all good now. No really bad signs of blood clots or anything. I am actually a medical professional myself, but my expertise is pregnancy so I'm trying to not diagnose myself as I am not qualified! lol:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
