GOT MY LAP-BAND TODAY...loser-ville..here I come!!!

So funny you said that about the straw thing...the first and second days I was home, I was using a straw and I felt even more bloated than when I got our of post-op.  I haven't used one since and the bloatine eased up alot!!!  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers....it means alot to me to have so many on my side!!!!
