:omg:OK karlvr! You're CRAZY! But WOW, I'm impressed. I don't have the energy to move now, much less after surgery. But you go for it! It's got to be that you are positive & stoked! Congratulations! Hope you'll share your progress with us.

Okay call me crazy but, I was banded on 10-30-07 and I painted my dining room this morning. The more I move the less sore I feel.

Hi, I found you in a search on this sight. I am going through the same office as you did. My surgery is scheduled for January 9, 2008. I sure would love to hear from you. I have a ton of questions residing just underneath a pile of nerves.

I hope by this time the worst is behind you and that you are doing well.

Did you say you're going through Hershey Med? I'll try to answer any questions you might have--I had a really good experience and I'd be glad to help.

Hey Sunrise! Did you say you were getting your surgery done with Dr. Champion in Atlanta or getting it done in PA? I haven't been on lapbandtalk.com for a while, so I'm a little bit lost!

I am having my surgery done in PA at Hershey Medical Center.

I didn't forget about you. As I said I will answer your questions the best I can and try to be helpful. I am 1 month out of surgery and feeling great, almost too good cuz i can eat anything without a problem. I have not lost any weight since the surgery, added a few pounds , but looking forward to the first fill dec. 14. I guess it's logical to go from liquids to 'real' food and put on a couple of pounds. I try to watch very carefully what I eat, but I don't feel full after a small meal due to lack of restriction, so it's a challenge.

FYI: they don't weigh you before you go into surgery, so when I went for my 2 week follow up they were thrilled with the weight loss, but it was all lost during the pre op diet. I was not so thrilled.

Anyhow, ask away and I'll do my best to be helpful. I didn't know anyone that went thru this before me and I got a lot of info from the website. It would have been nice to talk to someone.
