Yolie, you are in my prayers. It really is a simple surgery, and like Corianna the 8th is my birthday also. So nothing bad could possibly happen.

It's a minor procedure. just make sure to walk around while in the hospital as much as you can. You will be in some pain while in the hospital but should be fine a day or two after you return home to where you won't need the pain meds they send you home with. After you eat, walk around your house. You will literally feel the gas bubbles moving about your body trying to escape. Other then that, you'll be off to the races with the weight loss. You will loss the majority of your weight the first two weeks so enjoy!

i was just banded mid dec, and honestly it was a breeze. ive had more trouble and discomfort with a dental appt. i was at the hosp at 5;45 am, rolled into the operating room at 8, and the next thing i know the nurse woke me up at 9;30 and said youre done !! i left the hospital at 11am feeling a little tired but fine otherwise.(put a waterbottle and some lifesavers in the car for the ride home-i had the worst cottonmouth all day !!!!) i rested on the couch for 2 days and by the 3rd day i was so bored i went and did some lite xmas shopping. other than the left side feeling like a bad pulled muscle for 10 days, it was all so easy ! lost 14 lbs total so far. you'll do fine! good luck to you, and see you on the other side !!

I was just thinking that ! having my wisdom teeth out was worse than having lapband surgery.. good luck to all of you having it done soon :)

I, too, had my Lap Band surgery yesterday. I was in and out in 6 hours. My port incision hurts like the devil and I feel full of gas, but otherwise doing much better today. I hope that the others that had surgery yesterday are doing well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping to feel good enough to catch up on my blogging tomorrow. I just set up a weight loss ticker on My Fitness Pal so I can start tracking the loss. Take care new friends!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
