Tommorrow is my big day! (The joys of miralax)

[givempills 0]

I never know how to start these posts.....

My name is Bill. I'm 31 years old, from Long Island, New York. I'm happily married, and have a 4 month old daughter.

Tommorrow, I will take the last/first step in my weight loss journey, I'm getting the lap band.

It's been a long road. I've been heavy my whole life....the fat kid. I've gone up and down for years.....I low carbed....I drank beer, I gained it back...yadda yadda yadda.....

So today I went to the beach with my wife and daughter, and celebrated my fat-ness one last time...kidding....

Tommorrow is the big day. I have started the Miralax preop from my doctor and its not so bad.....then again i can still sit in front of the computer at this moment...

I've talked about it with my immediate family, co workers and a few close friends....

So, I just wanted to thank you all for your site. Although I'm new to the site, I've gotten a lot of info.....

If any of you need anything from me, my email is givempills@aol.com

Thanks,

Bill:smile2:

Congratulation Bill!! Hope all goes well with your surgery. Post afterwards and let us all know how you are doing. I have a 3½ month old granddaughter. . . they are so sweet at that age.

If your wife is supportive to the procedure you have it made. Good luck tomorrow!!!

Hi Bill! I just had my Lapband done on 8-25-09 (Tuesday) & got out of the Hospital today. It wasn't bad at all! I did have some gas (referred) pain in my shoulder, but it went away. That's the only "bad" thing that happened, but it was doable. Good Luck to you & keep in touch....
