I am with you all the way. I live in Warner Robins, GA. My lap band surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at Crawford-Long in Atlanta. I am so excited. I will be looking to all of you for support!

Hope you are home and feeling better every day.  Phyllis

Thanks for the well wishes. I did fine. I am heading home this morning. So far no problems keeping liquids down. So I am now an official bandster! Lori

Congratulations to you!  Take it easy though.  SO glad to hear you aren't having any troubles.

Hi Leah, I have been talking to people on he boad but they come back to me in my mail and some people are telling me that they cannot see my profile and I don't know what I have been doing wrong. Will you check and see if you can pull me and up what I may be doing? I live in Snellville. Etoria

I can see your profile, but you have no picture on as your avatar.  If you log in, you can upload a picture of yourself if you want to.  Maybe that is what they are trying to say.  I can see your profile though, so you are doing something right.

thanks! Leah, I know I am hopeing to post my picture in about a week or so. But thanks for checking for me!

Hi Y'all I'm in Atlanta. Had RNY 08-15-07 Dr. Rashid Peactree Bariatrics. down 70 lbs. LOVE it. Can you PLEASE tell me how to uload my picture? I uploaded it but it still doesn't show up. It's cold in the ATL today!

It's so fun to have more lap banders on here. I'm so thrilled with my progress. I just have to share. I was prepared to only lose a pound or two between my post op visit and my first adjustment....I nearly jumped up and down when the scale said I'd lost 8! I want to be down about 50 by the time we have a family reunion this summer. None of that side of my family knows I've had this surgery. I want to shock!!! them. I was afraid it was going to be impossible, but now it's looking more and more like a reality. This is the easiest 22 pounds I've ever lost. I feel like it's a dream sometimes...please just don't wake me if it is :D I go to my family Dr tomorrow for a med check etc and I can hardly wait to get on the scales...I've avoided the Dr for year because I just hated getting on them...this is so much better. Congrats everyone on making choices to take care of yourselves!
