Banded on Jan 21st at 12:00pm... Up walking at 4:00pm .... No pain, whatsoever, Have slept very well. I sometimes have to look at the small incisions to remind myself I had anything done. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Very encouraging!!! I started mine yesterday and mine is only a week so I need to not whine. I hear the first few days are the worst but I'm hungry and super tired.

Fantastic. I am currently sitting at my desk because I couldn't stand being home anymore. There is some pain, some tenderness and eating is a whole new experience. Just taking it slow and trying to get enough calories into me to survive

Just remember bad news travels faster than good news. Many people post only when in trouble, but there are by far many more successes than failures. If the band was as unsuccessful as you seem to imply, the doctors would have stopped performing the procedure by now. I have heard many people with the sleeve complain about overall health impacts, but most band failures are patient compliance failures. If you are truly committed to follow lap band rules, I would stick with lap band. Maybe ask your doc about plication when he does your lap band.

I am very excited. Not really nervous. I have lost 10 lbs on the 2 week liquid diet. I have at least 70 more to lose!

Good luck! My surgery is also tomorrow morning! 2013 here we come!
