hi from brooklyn

[Guest a band apart]

i just got banded yesterday and am at home resting now. i only started considering the lap band in december 2008 and just 3 months later am recovering from the surgery! it all happened so fast that i'm still processing everything and am so glad to have this site as a resource. it seems every concern i've had so far has already been discussed at length here!

anyway, i'm hoping to meet a few band pros and some people who are just getting started like me.

Congratulations on your surgery and good luck on your journey! So far it all seems to be moving pretty fast for me, too! I started investigating in February, and may be scheduled for surgery in May. From all the posts I've been reading, I guess we're pretty lucky! I hope your recovery goes well, and I hope to be in your shoes soon :w00t:

Congratulations, Brooklyn band! How'd you jump through all of those pre-op hoops so fast, huh? I also was on the fast track - first consult in October 2007 and surgery just a month later.

You're right - this site is a terrific resource, and an endless source of support and encouragement. Wishing you a quick recovery and the best of luck!
