Hi, fellow thirty-somethings =)

Hi there! I am posting in a few different groups here to see which ones I fit into best.

I was banded two days ago. I am looking forward to becoming healthy again!

80s,

Welcome & congrats on your surgery! I am about 5 1/2 months out from mine. There doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic here in the thirties. Maybe we can change that!

It is nice to meet you all! I am three days post-op and starting to feel a little better. I have had doubts that I could lose all of this weight because I seemed to be hungry at first, but I am learning how to manage liquids now and keep the hunger at bay. =)

I have also been checking the 30's thread on and off and haven't seen much activity. I am so glad to finally see some!

So anyway, :tongue_smilie: It's nice to meet you all! My name is Jessica and I was banded on 1/14/08, and so far I'm down 50 lbs! Congrats & good luck to everyone!

Hello all! It's nice to meet you all. I was banded this past Wednesday. I'm feeling pretty good, soreness is better. The thing that is bothering me is the gas. It comes and goes. It gets better during the day because I'm up walking around and then at night settles again in my shoulders and chest. I really thought it would be gone by now. I haven't had any pain meds since Thursday or Friday. Motrin has been handling any pain I have. If I could just get rid of this gas, I'd feel great! Good luck to you guys coming up this week.

Hey 80's - We're neighbors! I'm in Fort Worth.

Take care all and keep in touch!

Just got banded last Friday myself. Technical question - how do you add the weight tracker? I've created 2 from 2 different sites, but can't figure out how to attach to my profile.......

[tamboclan 3]

The one I used had a code you could copy that said "for forum signatures" or something like that. It was just an html code I pasted in my signature.

[LaLaLoser 1]

just figured it out. thanks!

Ann - Thanks so much! If I can do it anyone can!

Its so nice to meet everyone! Congrats and good luck to all!
