Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Hi Brandy! I am 1 week & 1 day post-op with lapband & wanted to write and encourage you...the recovery is not bad. :-) It is exciting to be able to "draw a line in the sand" and start fresh this way. Good luck on your journey soon to be your "fresh start" -- I hope it goes well!! Take care, Stephanie (SallyRhodes)

SURGERY DATE SCHEDULED
I went to the Pre-Op Class on Sept. 26th and met a great group of supporting friends. Met with the nurse and surgeon. My surgery date is October 31, 2007 @ 10am. I am counting down the days. It will be here before I know it. I am excited to finally take back my life and enjoy it with my family and friends.

Hi Brandy! I was really excited when I read your reply! Sounds like we have quite a bit in common, even the surgeon! I'm hoping to get Dr. De La Torre, if he's not booked out too far. I've heard that he's very good. Would you mind sharing some of your surgey story with me? I'm so curious as to what I'll need to expect/prepare for. Did you have to do the 10 day liquid diet? How's the recovery coming? I'm sorry to bombard you with questions like this, but I feel like I could learn a lot from you--especially since our height and weight are practically the same! Congrats on your surgery, and the best Halloween treat EVER! LOL Hope to hear from you! Tonya

Hi Brandy,
I had the lapband surgery on Monday. So far so good I have just been really sore, like you said "Hit by a truck". Yesterday I was feeling hungry but to day is better. Do you have any new suggestions on the liquids? I am drinking the Atkins, broth and popsicles..
Glad to hear you are doing good!
