Default just got approved

I saw U'r post this AM buit just joined the site so I couldn't post til I was approved to. By now U would've had U'r proceedure and know that I was going to tell U that the whole thing was so much easier then I antisipated. I hope all went well for U as I said in earlier post I had to ask my surg. if he actualy did the procedure. So now get on U'r feet and start to enjoy the new U and U will get back to a normal routine.
I had my Lap Band in July 09
Good Luck: Pete

Default wish you well.

I hope U got to see some of my earlier post. March is just around the corner and you have the hardest part of the journey behind U. As I said earlier I was Realy surprised at how easy the band proccedure was to go through. I actualy did ask my surgion if he put it in there.How ever I was reminded of it any time I ate too fast of too heavy for my stage of healing. good luck on U'r upcomming proccedure and hope it goes as well as mine did
