Hello from Heidelberg, Germany

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas Eve!!! I got the lap band surgery done in Italy for my Christmas present. I'm 8 days post op. All is going ok but being 49 years old and having battled obesity all my life, I know talking with all of you will help all of us make it through the holidays. I'm not experiencing much pain only ocassional bouts of gas. It's uncomfortable around my left shoulder???? I have so much to say and am so thrilled about tomorrow and tomorrow and then some. My husband and I just bought land in Colorado and will build our ranch for retirement soon and now I'll be about to ride them wild horses!!!! Well, at leas****ch them run by.... So, I'm just moving around this website learning. I've gotten great info already and even ordered from C2L!! I'm looking forward to our new relationship. Thanks for being there for all of US. Merry Christmas Eve, Sincerely, Lynnell from Germany

Hi Lynnell! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to your message... things were nutso around here during Christmas. (I did reply to your message, by the way!) Colorado sounds absolutely magical and I've had experience with wild horses. They are, hands down, the most awesome breed on the planet. How are you doing now? I hope everything is going well for you and I look forward to hearing from you! Melissa

Hi Lynnell: Just stumbled onto you post and thought I would see how you are getting along. I had RNY 6/03 and have done really well with just some minor anemia. We recently found out that we are expecting a baby in Oct. BIG surprise!! So, this is my first pregnancy after RNY, so it will be interesting to say the least. Hope you are doing well. Take care Cheri
