New to the group, I had my LAP-BAND® done February 24, 2009. My starting weight was 239, I've lost a total of 30 pounds as of today. My surgery was great, I had very little pain, however I did have to stay in the hospital 1 extra day because of a allergic reaction to the pain medication "delotid". In the beginning I was not getting enough protein but that has gotten much better. I feel great and can't wait to lose more weight.:smile2:
