Hi everyone, I'm Linda from Texas and just got home today from Monterrey, Mexico where I had my lap band put on. I guess I'm kind of in a limbo or something because I think of many things that could go wrong. My son tells me I'm a worry wort. One question I have is I have pain in my left shoulder they said was from the anistesia and I was wondering how long that would last. I also have diaria , I guess from both the antibiotic and the barium they gave me when they did the e-ray. I sure hope that quits soon because it's really embarrassing with so much gas. I'm going to try to get on this site every day for inspritation. While in Mexico I met a lady who had hers done a year ago and was there for a face life. She said she felt great. At the airport another lady had hers done a year ago and was back for a refill. Another lady had just had it done the same day I did, Monday. Thanks for listening. I'll probably be writing a lot for info. Does anyone know in pounds how much 120 kilos are. That's what they said I waid but I can't believe the conversion I read. According to it I gained over 40 pounds since October.
