New Lapband

Okay, here I am day 4 post op. I am thinking Wow, I sure jumped in and did this all pretty fast. I think it is normal to have second thoughts after you have made a major life change like this.

The pain was a little intense yesterday, but everything seems great today. I feel like a whole different person. The pain was probably bad b/c I wasn't taking my pain meds and was over doing it.

I have been reading bad stories about the band on the forums and it scares me a little. I will follow the rules and hope that I do not have any bad results. I can't wait to lose the weight. It will be great for me and for my family. I have to say my husband has been great in helping me so far. I am lucky to have a good support person. I will try to write every day or two. My preop weight was 202#.
