Banded Yesterday!!

[Neil 0]

Hi Folks, First off all let me thank all the fellow bandsters that wished me well:smile2:

Well all went well better than expected as before I arrived at the Hospital I was a touch nervous. The nurses and surgeons did an excellent job and after meeting with them my mind was at ease. The whole thing was done very proffesionally. The pain now is minimal, they also repaired a abdominal hernia at the same time. sleeping last night was not a problem. So all in all it was something that would be highly recommended :thumbdown:

My weight before at initial visit was 281lbs.

Before pre-op diet (shakes) 279lbs.

After pre-op diet 261lbs.

Day of surgery 261lbs.

Can someone help me on how I do a ticker!! Have tried but cant seem to work it out.

First off, congrats on your journey.

Second to do a ticker you go to Tickerfactory.com , make your ticker, thren you come back to LBT and go to user cp and paste in the code.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.:thumbdown:
