Well 1 month down and I got my first fill. They put 2cc in. Now liquids for 2 days and pureed for 2 days. But I'm down 33 pounds and I'm cleared to go to the gym. Finally! I was banded on December 1st.

Congrats

I'm now 3 weeks post Op and feeling a ton better. I'm trying to get use to eating every 3 hours or so and I'm always thirsty

I'm thirsty all the time so I'm just curious when I can drink not sip. Banded 3 weeks ago.

I feel like I had to vomit for the past 2 hours what should I do?

Okay I'm now 2 weeks post Op. Liquids only is over Thank God! I'm down 30 pounds! Pretty excited about that. I just can't wait to get back to strength training. Now I'm onto mushy/pureed food for two weeks. Just wanted to pop in and update everyone. I will update again in 2 weeks.

I am 7 days post Op and I have 5 incisions but I can't feel my port underneath any of them. Where is everyone's port site any help would be great.

I'm 5 days post Op and wondering can liquids get stuck. I've felt stuck twice in 3 days. Didn't puke or anything. I'm on all liquids so I was confused how could liquids get stuck.

Had my first real uncomfortable feeling last night. I don't know if it was gas from the surgery or I just didn't sip the water I was drinking and gulp it down but I thought I was going to vomit. I calmed myself down and layed down and it went away in 30 minutes. Man that wasn't fun

I'm happy ur doing well

Doing well I'm on all liquids. So lots of water and broth or creamy soup that has been strained so no chunks yogurt as well. Went for my first walk today. Man didn't realize how much energy I dont have lol. I will keep everyone posted.

Congrats on your date I was banded on Monday you won't regret it

I feel fine when I'm on my meds. When they wear off my shoulders and back hurt like hell. But it's my second day. Good luck on yours.

I just had my surgery yesterday. Is there any tips or tricks anyone wants to share?

Just had the surgery and I'm now heading home. I feel out of it

Yup only one week for pre op. 2 more days until surgery time.

Thanks everyone. Cant wait to start this journey

Just got the call my surgery is on December 1st I'm so stoked!

I had my final meeting with my surgeon and she is sending my stuff off for final approval. I should be having surgery in 4 to 5 weeks. I did think it was odd that my doc said she didn't think I could get to goal weight of 210 with lapband. I weigh 437. She said I'd probably weigh 300. I'm going to work damn hard to prove her wrong.

Thanks all. I meet with my surgeon on November 6th. I'm wondering after that how long will I have to wait until the surgery.

Thanks for the response. I'm fired up and excited for this surgery.

No offense ladies. I love the success stories. I'm just looking for success stories from men as well. Just curious if there are any on this site with Lap-band. I'm about 1 month or so out from surgery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
