I have the lap band and plication. So far, so good. I had my surgery April 17 and I'm down about 26 pounds. The tool is working, but my brain is another story. The emotional eating is something I am still working on. Some days are better than others. I would do the surgery again tomorrow if I had to.

Great job! I'm inspired to go get a workout in this evening. I was thinking about taking a pass, but after reading your post I've changed my mind. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing your journey.

I'm looking forward to reading your story too. I just had this proceedure on 4/17 and I feel really good. I have been very inspired by the posts on this page. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing!

That does not seem to make sense. I think you need to find a new surgeon. Don't give up now.

I just had my surgery last week and the gas pain was weird. It hurt but it wasn't there all the time and a heating pad kicked the pain to the curb. I was a bit skeptical, but now at day 6 I'm feeling better and better. You will be fine, just plan for your recuperation and rest. It really does help. Good luck Woodie!
