Helpful tips, don't over pack for the hospital, bring your own shampoo , don't forget the chap stick ( LIKE I DID ) God bless you all...... Kristin

Hello Kristin, Thank you for your post, I'm having surgery on January 20th, YESSSSS this coming Tuesday, WOW!!! I can't believe the day has come. Well, I wish you luck in your journey and I'm glad you made to the losing side. Hugs~~~Celines

I am having the lap banding on Friday. I am already wondering how I am going to get through the rest of my life with WILL POWER and no more Iowa size meals! Good luck on you losing and my thoughts are with you. Jackie

Jacqueline, It can be any worse than Pittsburgh size meals!! LOL!! It's funny because I've been down this road before when I had weight loss surgery the first time, Long story LOL. But I would go to a picknic and look around for what I really wanted and just take 1/2 bite of it all and it felt like I was not left out of eating too!! Good luck to you, and God bless!! You are going to do well ! Please post when you are feeling better!! Kristin
