11-19

I'm new here-having lapband on Mon. 11-19 and really would like to have someone to talk to if I could. Thanks much! Lisa

I will be your surgery twin. I'm having my lap band surgery Nov 19th....23 hours from now I should be starting my journey.

Hi- I'm so glad you replied-we'll definitely have to keep up with each other-it's gonna be great! I had my son take my before picture and download it so I'm going to keep up with my pregress that way. He said we'd take a picture every month and watch my progress-I thought that was such a great idea! I've been on the liquid diet the last 4 days because my doc told me he wanted my body to start getting used to it. I'm hungry but I'm ready so it's worth it I guess. Well, I wish us both good luck and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I'll be talking to you after to see how you're doing. Good luck Belda! Talk soon. Lisa

I'm new on here too. I had my band put in last Tues and it went very smooth. I wish you the best and think positive cuz this is going to change our lives for the better! Even if you feel like doing a lot of stuff afterwards, just try to take it easy and don't overdo it.

Hi Lori- thanks for your response. I hope we can continue to keep up with each other and I'm so glad for you that everything went smoothly. Are you doing well with the liquids and pain control and just in general? I was a little scared for a bit but now it's more anticipation than anything- and I will think positive! My son took my picture for me so I'm ready to go (and start shrinking)! I'm going to keep you in my thoughts and hope we can keep talking. Do Good!! Lisa
