Hope to see you around!

Hi Martin, congratulations on your upcoming surgery! I love my Lapband! I had never been an overnight patient in a hospital before (I'm in my mid-fifties) and it was all so much easier than I thought it would be. I filled my pain medication prescription but did not need it. I was really glad that I upped my exercise prior to the surgery. Started walking more -- helped burn off the nervous energy but also gave me something to step right into after surgery. As soon as I woke up I grabbed my pole and went up and down the hallway, a little further each time. Impressed the nurses (and me!). You have a whole new chapter beginning and I'm so happy for you. It changed my life to be right-sized again. Happy and healthy.

Personally, I'm glad I did not find this website until after I had my surgery. It can be a blessing and a curse, positive enforcement and negative.

But know this, this thing does work!!

Best advice I can give is focus on the treatment plan your Dr. has for you...and don't get distracted by what others are doing...it's your life and you need to take care of yourself and your own.
