Welcome to bandland! lol. I have had the band for almost a year, itll be a year June 3rd. I have lost 61lbs so far, and i need to lose 40 more. The lapband has helped me so much, and I know i made the right decision. Be patient with the long wait.... bc in the end it is well worth it. The important thing is, you have taken the first step... and thats all you need to do to keep on going in the right direction. Dont become discouraged. So all in all, you now know someone with a band! Any questions you can feel free to private message me, or on this post.

Well, right out of surgery the port area is where the pain occurs. It is very hard to stand up straight or lay down flat. Its also hard to get up from a sitting position. I had surgery on a thursday and was back to work by the following wednesday. I am a teacher, so i am with my kids all day... very active. It is pain that is do-able. It def is uncomfortable but i am not good with pain. This was my very first surgery... but it was very simple and easy to deal with afterwards. I was able to bathe normal and do a lot with out the help of others. I never got the gas pains a lot of folks talk about. I made sure to walk around A LOT. That helps to not get the gas in the shoulder and stuff. Im sorry that the gallbladder hurt you for 2 weeks. This pain lasts about a week... but it is very tolerable.
