Pradice73 0 Posted September 25, 2008 haha.. that is too funny about your mama. Yes, they make me laugh out loud and I feel like I am transported in time. i started reading them years ago and went to get 14 last night at Walmart but they did not have it. Patty!!! I LOVE that you identify with the books!! I was so obsessed with Janet's books...I got worried when I need the next one, they would be checked out...I told my hubby...I will just be a minute in the library..I am getting the next book...lol...I walked out with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13!! I would turn it in as soon as I read it! Then I got mama hooked...she's turned very sassy since reading them... lol..she dyed her hair RED 3 wks ago!! She's 68!!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GETTING BANDED THIS WEEK AND NEXT!!!! I got banded on Friday 9/19 and each day I wake up I feel so much better and stronger!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrjlprev 0 Posted September 29, 2008 I was nervous too ... but it was the easiest, simpliest surgery I have ever had done! Tell them you are nervous, and they will give you something sooner to take the edge off. I'll be praying for you! and waiting to hear all about how your experience, everyone I have talked to has had easy, smooth surgeries and so will you!:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sash 0 Posted September 30, 2008 I had my surgery yesterday. Man am I in pain. I didn't think it would hurt this much but what was I thinking? I cannot lay down without my tummy burning and aching. So I am sleeping in a chair. Getting up and about. Walking as much as possible in 10 min incriments. I have a Q-pump that feeds pain med to my port area. But it still hurts. I'm trying to sleep as much as possible. I'm trying to stay on top as far as taking my meds. I hope this gets better fast.:thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haffdime 0 Posted September 30, 2008 I so agree with you. I was banded on the 3rd. I NEVER had real pain. I was sore like you had done too many sit ups. It has been so easy so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidib 15 Posted September 30, 2008 Hi everyone!! I got my band sept 25th!!! The pain wasn't much for me at all the first few days. My port area is hurting now though for some reason. I thought it would get better not worse. :thumbup: Over all I'm doing well. Hating the shake stage! The weight loss is really keeping me going! :drool: I've lost 12 lbs so far including 1 wk post op! :cool2: Keep up the good work all!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
