HI ALL

I'M MICHELLE FROM UPSTATE NY...ON MY WAY TO A NEW LIFE:)

well welcome aboard, this place is sorta dead but maybe we can liven it back up.

love to try Im 42 and not dead yet....lol

I'm looking forward to my surgery.  I've prepared my grocery list of things I will need post surgery. I was planning on taking one week from work but since I am unable to see my surgeon until Thursday of the following week I have to take off two weeks. 

Not sure which surgery you're having, but the nice thing about two weeks is that it give you time to adjust to you're new life before you have to enter the real world and all it's temptation ! Congrats on doing this for yourself!

Hi Michelle...welcome. This board is kind of quiet...glad to have you join us...I just found it a couple of weeks ago. I'm currently in banders hell. I go for my first fill with the lap band next week and I can hardly wait. I've done really good until this weekend and now I'm dying for every bad food. I know I just have to grit my teeth and hold on....the upside is I can feel my weight loss in my clothes that is helping me. Now I'm rambling ...it's been one of those days.

thanks oh im having the open RYN

I'm having the Lap Band surgery and have been on liquid supplements for almost a month.  I'm definitely going to take off one week and wait until the end of that week to decide if I'm going back to work the following Monday.  Since I have a desk job I think I can handle it.  Besides I want to save some vacation time to take off later in the year.
