I'm in. I would love to lose 15lbs by July 4th. That would be 1/2 way to my end goal. Thanks

I haven't vomitted once. If you eat right, and follow instructions, you will be fine. That freaked me out too. I have been fine.

My doc lets me go in every 2 weeks. I am so glad that is how he does it, by the end of that 2nd week I am so ready for a fill.

I too am a stomach/side sleeper. I was sleeping on my right side the first night. At about 2ish weeks, I could sleep on my Left side (side of port). 4 weeks out I could sleep perfectly on my stomach. Good luck!!! It is a little hard in the beginning. At the end of the 1st week, I had little to no pain.

I have been sleeping on my right side after the 1st night. I am now 6 days out. I sleep thru the night with no problem. I can't lay on my left side, I think that is where the port is. Good luck

3 days out: the only thing that bothers me is the port site. I am sticking to the diet, and have had no problems. I only take a few ibuprofen at night, so everything can rest. I hope everyone has sucess with the lapband.

I had my gallbladder out with my appendix. For me it was a easy surgery. I went on a family vacation to Disneyland 1 week to the date of my surgery. I rode the rides and walked all day. Get it out, You will feel better. good luck

Me too!!! I go in at 12pm and have sugery at 1pm. I am really excited. Good luck:thumbup:

Good luck making your decision. I am not sure some of these posts were helpful or called for. I have learned a lot from this board. This is the first, for lack of a better work, hostile post I have come across. Don't let this sour your experience. You just have to do what feels right to you. Good luck

I am really excited!!! I am getting the Lapband on Wednesday July 29. I was just wondering, what is the most important thing you brought with you to your surgery?
