this is a great place to learn and the chat rooms are bettet. there is a wealth of information to be found in both venue's.

I will suggest staying away from the complications board, remember the the bandsters that don't have problems usually are not posting on the boards.

Get the info first them read the complications otherwise your brain will start playing tricks on you! Good luck in your journey

I'm starting the process too. I just freaked out when I started reading about it on the internet. Then I happend on this site. I've read all the good.. the bad and the questions. It really made a difference for me in making up my mind. I'm still scared.. but so are all the others on here that are starting.. and you'll find out it's OK to be scared. It is a totally cool place to be to learn all you want to know.

Hi Everybody,

I had my lap band surgery yesterday and I am doing great! I'm a little sore but that's to be expected. I was so excited today because I ate a little cottage cheese and was full and didn't want/need to eat anymore. And I have NOT been hungry! That is the most amazing feeling, not to be hungry. I hope everybody is doing well and thanks for the support and encouragement.

Love and Light,

Jan

Jan,

Glad surgery went so well for you. Were you outpatient or did you stay overnight? How are you feeling today?

Hi Kathy,

I was outpatient. I went in at 7:00AM and was home about 4:00PM. And a lot of the wait was for X-ray- they were so busy I had to wait but that was what took so much time.

I feel great! Again, today, I ate some cottage cheese and was not hungry. I just drank a slim-fast and feel so satisfied. I am almost in tears thinking that this is REALLY, REALLY going to work. But then I am only two days in but I feel very hopeful and encouraged.

Thanks for the encouragement Kathy. I appreciate it.

Love and Light,

Jan
