At first my husband encouraged me to exercise and eat healthy. Well obviously that didn't work out (after trying for yrs)... Now I have the band, 30lbs lighter, and he loves every minute of it. Just the other day he was griping because I can't finish my plate and he has been eating my food- well he has gained a good 10lbs since I was banded! lol Ya'll just keep your head up because when your looking good and feeling great they will have changed their mind about the lap band.

I had surgery Jan 5. The Dr. said I had a very large hernia which makes since because I had to worst acid reflux aka indigestion. I have recovered great! I'm 10 days post op and feeling good. And praise the Lord no more acid reflux!

I didn't have a BM till 4 days after surgery. My doctor told me to take 4 doses of Milk of Mag each day for the first 48hrs. I've had three BMs and I am on day 8 post op.

Urinating is another story... I had trouble especially the first few days. Now I'm trying to make sure I get enough liquids in order to flush my kidneys. I just make sure I go atleast 3 times daily.

I just had surgery Jan 5 and I feel the same way. Today I feel a little better but I'm trying to drink more fluids and I ate egg drop Soup to try to get a little Protein. I offically made it a week out today, but it has not been easy! I go back to work tonight, and I'm not sure that I'm ready. I'm a nurse and work 12hr shift.
