Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!! Posted in Loving Memory of Paula – Momma Angel who passed away 6/10/04 (Note Momma did not pass away from anything related to WLS – she had not had it)![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/pics/sl/swangirl-A1126464161-1fc.jpg)

Hi Again, I went to the meeting and it was very informative. I have decided with my existing health issues I am going for the lapband surgery. I am going to start on my paperwork today and still very neveous about surgery, not so much the eating aspect, just surgery and recovery. On average what has been the recovery of feeling good after lapband?![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/uploads/avatar/278998.jpg)

Hi, This is my journey beginning today. I will be going to my first seminar tonight with my husband to find out information on the lap band surgery. Mixed emotions, excited, scared, unsure. All changing with each moment. I would ask for your prayers in guidance and support during this preparation time.![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/pics/sl/splenda-princess-c1090331797-1fc.jpg)
