I had my surgery yesterday as well. Which surgery did you get? I was banded. So excited for the future!

I just had lap band surgery yesterday. My father had it done a little more than month ago, he has lost 22 pounds, he gained 4 pounds at the end of week 3 but it came right back off. He had his first fill yesterday and his doctor said the slight gain was totally normal.

I just got my band yesterday. It was 9k total. I'm in south Florida. Doesn't cover complications but does cover 3 fills. Insurance wouldn't cover the surgery.

For me, the pain meds were deff needed. The gas is stuck in my stomach and shoulders. I feel so bloated. I have an alarm set for every two hours to walk around the house, it really seems to be helping. I'm only able to sip on liquids. Won't even come close to the recommended ounces. But I'm sure every day will be getting better!
