My surgery is tomorrow and I just read about all the lap band deaths in California (not a good thing to read), Can anyone tell me what to expect the next few days ( I am sooo antsy)

Hi, i had mine on the 20th and honestly, besides an emotional breakdown here and there it hasnt been that bad. Im still home but on the positive side ive lost 30 pounds

The deaths in California all happened in one organization. Your doctor has performed surgery on 19 people

on this forum and I haven't heard one complaint. Lapband surgery, done by a competent surgeon is probably

the safest WLS there is. Follow your doctor's instructions and allow yourself time to heal and you're going

to be just fine. Any questions, just ask.

Omg rosy! 30 lbs since the 20th!!!!

Awesome!!

i know! i was shocked too. Im almost ready to hit the gym...i cant since my doctor wants to give me clearance on Monday so I can return to "living". Dont get me wrong. Im hungry, I have no fill yet so its about the decisions that i make.

Rosy, hope you don't mind me asking.. Were you on liquids for a long time? I've been told to take advantage of my honeymoon period and would appreciate some guidance.

Just letting you all know I am home, got home roughly 5 hours after my surgery, I am having a little pain in my shoulder blades but other than that I seem to be doing okay.

Congratulations. Now get up and walk and don't forget to drink. Best of Luck.

Thank you! I have been making sure to walk every hour, sometimes more than that, it really helps with the shoulder pain. The Water is a must as my mouth is so dry, did you have a salty kind of taste in your mouth after surgery? I am hoping it will go away but am not sure what is the cause of it?

Thank you for your encouraging words also!
