summer tan

I am new to this site and I was wondering if you could give me some personal insight about how the surgery went and how long it took to recoop. scaring, excess skin, how it is working for you. I am scared to death. I don't know which is worse, knowing I am going to get a surgical procedure done, or people knowing how I'd lost the weight, Thank you

surgery wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was out of work for a week and a couple days but it wasn't pain as much as general discomfort. The gas used during surgery leaves you the most uncomfortable afterwards. My scars are very small. I have 5 all together and they are as small as your pinky nail is wide (considering you are a female) my biggest one is about an inch long and it's where they put the port. As far as keeping it private. To this day, 6months later, the only 2 people that know I have had surgery are my mother and fiance. I got admitted in the hospital under a fake name and everything because I didn't want people to know. You aren't lying when you tell people that you are *eating less, watching what you eat and only eating when your hungry* those things are all very very true and they don't need to know all about your lapband until you are ready to tell them or want to tell them. I will go to m y grave with me secret! Right now, I have lost 60 lbs and I don't have alot of excess skin. I've started toning up areas where I can see small problems and that is working well. I've always had a bigger tummy and that has proven to be stubborn in my loss, but it is shrinking litle bits at a time. I was scared too, but honestly, I do it a million times over if need be. My pay off has been so good! Best wishes and let me know if you have more questions! =)
