My First Week

Wow I can't believe I actually did it. I just hope it is all worth it. I didn't expect to have so much pain. I also didn't expect to gain weight in the hospital (6lbs). The weight has now come off and its only day 3. My cuts are itchy. The good news is that I found a comfortable position to sleep. Everyone has told me that the first weeks are hard. I can't wait to see my doctor so we can go over my diet. I'm looking forward to eating more normal foods and not just optifast.

LAP-BAND Patients

I gained a couple of pounds after surgery too... I think it is the IV fluids and your body holding more fluids to try to heal you. Good luck with everything!! I was just banded May 14. Had some complications but getting better now.
