Sorry to be out of touch so long. What if we all met at the new city Starbucks on Main Street?

Best part is losing the weight with minimal effort. I'm at 43 lbs in 3 months. I feel better than ever! Long way to go but it's been a great start. Would totally do it again

Agreed. I can't eat anything potatoe-fries etc. also some bread things give me trouble. Should we meet?

The liquids were ok. I followed the diet very closely. Recommendations: unjury protein shakes, chicken broth, sugar free jello and plain yogurt with cinnamon.

Getting up and down was very painful. I slept in a recliner for a week. After that I was ok.

The surgery wasn't too bad. It was longer recovery than I expected but its been WELL worth it. I didn't worry too much about pre-op. the band will give u the control u need. I'm in Thiells.

Hi! I was banded 10/26. I've lost 43 lbs and feel great. Very interested in meeting/chatting.

Checking in at 371! Don't know last weeks weigh in but it's 40 lbs less than the day I had my Lapband surgery!

Well I totally relate to the knowing on the arm comments but over all I'm doing really well and feeling better everyday! How's everyone else doing???

Hey all, I'm flipping out. I was banded last Friday and today one of the sites started bleeding. Just a little bit but I feel it's weird to start now. I see the dr Tuesday for first post op check. Ideas? Should I worry?

Hi all! I'm in NY and am finally able to get online post Sandy megastorm! Banded a week ago today and down 18 lbs. still some pain on the left side but feeling much better. So glad to be reading the support from this forum again!

Sherry, I was banded the 26th as well, how are you feeling? I'm still sore but it's getting better each day...

Sammyd, how are you? We're you banded today? Hope everything went smoothly!

Tpenny90 lol I agree. I'm a pastor but I'd have no trouble taking someone out if they this is the easy way! We will all feel normal again soon!

I'm with you, a lot of pain at the port site I press a pillow against the area when I move and that's helping but I still can't lay down. I've been sleeping in a recliner. Can't wait till I feel normal again!

Between the pre-op diet and now being 3 days post-op I no longer have to see the first digit on the scale be a 4!!! Health and wholeness here I come!!!
