My Grand Child

Lives in Portland OR and I live in CA. I try to see her adn swim with her at least every 2 or three months. I told my son to tell her I was going to the Dr. and I'd be back. However, to her the Dr. just gives shots adn since Jan my surgery has been delayed to March 23. I told my son he's have to tell her my fat tummy was being fixed and it would take longer to get well and I'd be a better swimmer for her. I hope to get Lap Banded and back to Portland by June or so. Any other Bandsters out there? How long did it take you to recover and go and play again?
