Getting Banded on Wednesday and can use a Buddy/Mentor

[Luv2prayz 0]

Hi there, I am fairly new to this forum and trying to figure things out. I am 30 years old and am blessed to be married to my first and only love who is an amazing husband and father.:wink2: I have 2 boys, 18 months and 4.5 years old. I am a stay at home mommy and love it and can't wait to enjoy it even more once I lose some of this weight. I am only on my pre-op diet as I will be banded on Wenesday 8/27/08 and I have lost about 9 pounds so far. I live in the Northern Dallas area and I am also new to Texas, just moved here from CA a few months ago. As far as how much weight I want to lose my first goal is to lose about 55 pounds which will put me just under the 200 mark. Eventually I would like to go down to 145. I am not even sure what that would look like, especially since I have been overweight most of my life. But I just want to be healthy.:crying:

Good luck w/ your surgery tomorrow!! I had mine yesterday in San Antonio, stayed overnight in the hospital and came home today! My surgery went GREAT, sure yours will too!

I had no gas pain, no nausea. Just a bit of pain (more like dull ache) in the largest 1 1/2 inch cut where port was placed. I didn't even need pain meds in the day. The nurse did give me a swig at night and I was out like a light!

Hope your surgery goes as well...don't' worry!! I was FREAKED out and it went great! :thumbup:
