Hi Everybody!

Hi everyone! My name is Candi and I'm so excited to be apart of a group that has/is going through what I'm experiencing now. I am scheduled to get the lap band surgery this Friday, 12/27 and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. See, I have been thinking about getting the lap band for 2 years now but I wasn't 100% sure about getting it. After trying to lose the weight on my own with little success, I finally decided to get the surgery and I couldn't be more happier with my decision. So far, the hardest part for me is drinking these protein shakes but I'm sure there is more to come on my journey. Overall, I'm happy join this group and I'm glad to meet all of you. I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

    Everything went really well! I'm just super sore now but walking seems to help me out a lot. I'm also experiencing a lot of gas and it can be uncomfortable when i'm trying to burp. It's like it gets stuck in my chest or something. Anyways, thank you so much for asking i really do appreciate it.
