Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting here, although I've been lurking and learning for a few weeks, now.

I completed my pre-op journey, and had my Lap Band surgery today! Before surgery, I've lost a total of 14 pounds. My goal is to lose another 98 (and more, eventually).

Surgery went really well. I arrived at the hospital at 5:30, did my preop stuff, and surgery started at 7:30. I woke up in recovery at about 10:00. My surgeon said it was textbook, and that everything went really well. I left the hospital at 2:30 in the afternoon.

My belly is swollen and sore, and it's hard to bend over, but I can't complain! I've been up and walking around for most of the day, including going to the grocery store (with help) to pick up some chicken broth, V-8, and juice.

Anyways, I just thought I ought to introduce myself.

Thanks!

Welcome. Sounds like your surgery went well. Remember to get planty of fluids and walk around as much as you can. If your Dr. allows it, protein helps the healing process.

Hi! I'm new here too, just got my insurance approval. Glad to hear your surgery went well!

Sounds like your doing great! The grocery store on the day of surgery i hope to be doing that good on my surgery day.

Congrats. As you can see by my signature we started at the same weight and have the same "goal" I like you are not sure if I will be done or not. But I am here to share with you there will be days it seems its taking forever and than you will look around and realize you have lost a bunch of weight. Keep up the good work and I know you will do great!
