Hi everyone. New here.

Just had my lap band done yesterday and as most people do, I have lots of questions that only people who have been through it can answer. I guess it won't hurt to lean on people for support either as I go down this road so feel free to pitch in any info you can. I'm sure I'll have my up days and down days so it'll be nice to chat with people who know what I'm feeling. Thanks, Ron.

I was scared but just got it in my head that I was going to do it after going to the consult with the surgeon. I had lots of questions post surgery that only people who have gone through it can answer. So this was a good place for me. If I can ever help you or anyone else out I'd be glad to answer any questions you're going to have. ---- Ron

Hey, it's nice to meet you. My surgery was just yesterday morning so we can both kind of go through this together. Good luck to you and hope you're feeling better than I am right now. LOL I'm pretty damn sore.:)

How are you feeling today? I have mine on Monday. A little nervous. Are you not in much pain? Hopw u do great!!!!!

Oh I'm sore......and feeling about 10 months pregnant :) Ohhh the gas pains....but have found short walks, hot beverages and just some good ole R&R are helping:smile: Kinda hard to determine when I 'eat' my yummy sugar free jello or drink that fantastic chicken broth if I'm feeling full or sick......kinda strange feeling......and the post surgery dreams.............unreal!!:smile2:

Hey Good Luck Junibug!!!! You're going to do great!!!:)
