Hi Jess,

Welcome to the Lap Band Talk Community. While using this site, I have found much valuable information that is steady aiding me in my lap band journey. Since you are only 1 day post op you should get as much rest as possible and FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON'S INSTRUCTIONS. I have followed my own advice and am now down 40 lbs since banded on Dec 17th.

Take care

Congratulations! Be sure to take it easy. I was banded on 1/31/11 and I'm doing great. This is definitely the place to be for questions and support.
