I am in the pre-op diet phase. Yippie, that means soon I will be getting my band. Lately there have been a few posts on the forum about the pain newly banded people are in. It leaves me hoping I took off enough time for recovery. From everything I have read, I should be okay. I am hopeful I will be the "bounce back kid."

We talked this morning, while getting ready for work. I used the toilet for a chair, while he shaved, romantic huh! We are going to work toward a "Goal" month for the lap band. So! We decided on June! I am happ
What a grand day to begin a blog! I am hoping this will help me organize my thoughts and set an account of the journey.
