How are you feeling? I'm new and want to know how people feel right after surgery. Hope it went okay. Any info you can give would be much appreciated.

I noticed your screen name and would like to know how you felt before and after the band? I know it's a broad question but my therapist says I have to talk to three people already banded before I pursue this. I thought I'd start with you. And incites to the whole thing would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Please explain the diet you mentioned. How long must one be on liquid diet before surgery? and why? Thank you.

I am new to this whole thing. Does the surgery require that you not use tobacco before? after? and why?

Thank you. Many of the meds I'm on will not be necessary after the weight is off. I appreciate the detail of your reply. If you can, tell me what you feel like after surgery, mentally and physically. Thanks in advance for your time.:tt1:

Does this mean that you cannot take pills after the lap band?
