My surgery was 2/25/09 at 7:30 am. I have a 10 cc Lap-band. My starting weight was 203, I was 193 at surgery and goal is 130. During surgery, the doctor found and repaired a hiatal hernia. I have had acid reflux for many years and have been on medicaiton for this...having the hernia fixed should remedy the acid reflux!:cool2:

So, I am now 3 days post-op. I am still in pain and have alot of gas discomfort with pain in my left shoulder and left side. I am not hungry at all! I am on a full liquid diet for the next 1-2 weeks. When I do have a protein shake, I feel so full for many hours and just feel icky. I hope that passes.

I am so excited to begin this journey of losing weight and using the lapband as my tool. I love to motivate other people and really feel that LBT is a very good place for support. It also lets me know that there are still some really nice people in this world! Thank you to all my new LBT friends!:wink2:
