HI,

Where are you from in Canada and who is the Dr. doing the procedure. I had mine done in January and I was back to work three days later. I took no medication except tylonal. I am having amazing result.

I am from Montreal.

We do have some bandsters your age, but I guess they've all gone to bed early. LOL It's been a little while since I've seen 25 and I'm a long way from Canada, but I wanted to welcome you. Look forward to "talking" w/you here on LBT.

I am 27 and had the lap-band done in Aug of 2003. I was 26 when I had it done. I have lost 65 lbs and have another 20 to go. I love my band. I had the surgery on Wed and went back to work on Monday. I did not take any pain meds after the surgery. I was on diabetes meds and no longer take those either. Good Luck to you and a big WELCOME from TEXAS!!!
