I am having surgery on the same day and time in Lincoln, NE!!!!!! Good luck!!

My pre op is going well I have lost 19 so far as of today ! I scheduled for 730 am Monday morning I am nervous excited scared ! How are you doing I will be thinking and praying for you as we'll !

i was told that tea is fine as long as you are getting fluids, my doc also told me that i will experience plateaus just like i did before my band (that is Monday!) so maybe that is all it is, try and have a family member hide your scale and dont get on it daily....it really helps with the dispair! LOL

Super excited!! April couldn't get here any faster!!! I'm ready for this change in my life!!

Keep up the great work and take advantage of that first year after surgery!

amazing, inspirational and beautiful, thanks for sharing!!

It's been 6 months since surgery. I'm down 50 lbs and I have never been so happy! Even though its been a slower process the only regret I have is that I did not do this surgery sooner! I thank God daily for giving me strength and always being by my side through this process. I also am up to running 6 miles. Loving life❤

I was told yes. I had it & enjoyed it =)

I will be 6 post op tomorrow...I am down 39lbs...I'm still healing...I have good days and bad but I won't give up...I will be praying for your speedy recovery

The first 4-6 weeks after surgery are for healing, not losing. Weight loss generally comes once you're back on a regular diet and can eat regular foods. So, don't be discouraged if you don't lose right away.

Hi! I'm April 8th!
Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.

Super excited for you! I am scheduled for April 5th! Started my preop diet Monday and down 6.6 pounds. Can't wait to be on the other side!

Great news to have a date. You will be home by my birthday on the second! Best wishes!

As far as the gas goes try burping it really helps I started burping day 4-5 and it helps tons with the pain

Yes! Day 3 I was so nautious. It was frm the pain medication. I stopped taking it and had got some liquid children's Tylenol. Felt tons better afterwards. By day 5 I was able to get out of the house and and going back to work tmrw day 7. The pain medication worked for day 1-2 then made me so sick. I recommend trying the children's Tylenol, doesn't taste bad either (:

Yes I am on pain medication, although it doesn't seem to do much for me.

I had terrible back pain for 2-3 days but other than that I was ok. Are you on pain meds? That could be causing the nausea.....

Praying for you to get the lapband and enjoy the new journey beginning Apr. 1! This is a great tool and you are just beginning to use it! I have not really wanted Tummy Tuck surgery... I have a Csection scar that sort of holds things in place. God is good! Healthy and fit make sense now! Enjoy!

Welcome and best wishes for your surgery!
