Good luck mSan914. You're the same age as me. I'm 5 days post op now, my wounds are itching (healing), I'm tolerating yogurt and Fruche (do you have that in the US?, it's like slightly firmer set yogurt) and all fluids. I'm able to sleep fully on my side now (not on my back) and I am pretty comfortable. All the best to you. The days go fast! before you know it, it'll be 6 weeks post.

Thursday April 23, 2009. This will be a replacement band for me. I was initially banded in 2004, lost 36lb (25kg). Started gaining weight and feeling no restriction early 2009. Had barium swallow that revealed my pouch had expanded in size, which is a common complication, especially if you are one of those people who "push the limits". Seems like I am one of them! My surgeon is using a different band - a Lapband APS (Advanced Platform small). I'm first cab off the rank and have to be at the hospital at 7.30am for 8.30am op. Last time I was quite nervous and tearful going in, but hopefully I'll be better this time. Currently my weight is 87kg (212lb) (my lowest weight being 71kg, 156lb), my highest weight being 96kg (192lb). Without the band I know that my weight will just increase and balloon - if I CAN eat, I do. I'll check in here again in a couple of days with an update. :smile::w00t:
