I had my lap band surgery last Thursday. Besides being really bruised around the port incision I feel great AND without any pain medication. It took me 3 months to get to where I'm at. With the help from my buddy in Human Resources where I work and the attentive staff (Perla, Danita & Britney) at the surgical center, I wouldn't have had my surgery that fast. I was determined to have this procedure and hope I didn't seem overly anxious with calls into the office almost every day. I am 55 years old, have a 17 year old son who I wanted to see grow to be a successful man and father. I knew without this surgery my dreams of seeing that were slim. Also, I have to have my aeortic valve changed within the next 5 years and I wanted to be healthy for that. My son's going to be taking pictures and I'll be posting them and will keep up with my progress. I go back on the 4th of Feb. for a followup and I'm anxious to see how I've done. See you on the way down!!!!!!!!! Peggy
