I'm Done and Ready!
Had my last doc's appt. today before surgery next week. All tests came back good so I'm a go for surgery. Can't wait to get my band. I've already lost 8 pounds on my own, since Jan. 15th. I hope to lose a lot more once I have the right tools to do it.
Thanks for all the support you all have given.

YAY!!!!!
I know you are getting excited, it's a awesome thing to have the right tools to do what you have been trying to do. Sounds like your ready to roll and my only post surgery advice is give yourself enough time to rest, drink lots of fluid (or as much as you can), and try to walk every hour or so for about 5 minutes. I just walked up and down the hallway but it made a world of diffrence in the gas that was built up in my abdomen from surgery. Oh and take your pain meds if you need them, there's nothing wrong in taking meds because you just had surgery!
Here's to a healthy future for all!
