New to the boards

congrats to you Garrett! You will be a loser in no time I had my band surgery at the end of Nov and it's been ok so far, no major issues. The hardest part was all the appointments for the medical clearances !!! I hope I never need to do another upper GI in my lifetime. i am down about 35 lbs so far and my biggest accomplishment was being able to take a flight to Ft Lauderdale last weekend and NOT NEED the seatbelt extender!! i was THRILLED!!! Let us know about your progress Sue

Oh Sue: Can I relate to the seatbelt extension. Can't wait to fly again so I will not need to ask for one. Good for you Pam

Congratulations. It is such a weight off your shoulders once you get your surgery date. I, for one, am happy for you and can't wait to hear about your progress.
