Yay! I am now one week post op and I have lost a total of 14.5 lbs since I started the pre op diet and feeling great. I quit smoking 2weeks ago! So excited that I am beginning my new life. I am still a little sore from the incisions but that normal I think for a week out of surgery. I haved my post op appointment this morning and I'm sure the everything will look okay. Well I really want to thank everyone on this forum for helping me through my first week I have found a new family here and appreciate everyone support. Thanks guys!

Congrates to u Jackie. I got banded yesterday. And can't wait to get healthy.

Awesome! How are you feeling today? Also how was the surgery?

Congratulations on your new start! Keep up the awesome work!

The surgery went well. I went in The oporating room like 730 . Then the doctor said to the anestegiologist hey marlene is really nervous can she get a little something to calm her and I was out. I ony have to spot one up hi in my belly and the other in my belly button. My doctor does the single insision in ur belly button.I was gonna stay and decided I wanted to go home. Last night was rough. Today I am making sure to get up and waoknaround carefully. I have the week off and next too if I need it.I really am doing well. Thanks

That's good hope you start feeling a lot better I know its tough to move around those first few days. Just make sure to keep walking around I would walk every hour for 5-10 min and I think that helped me recover very well. Keep us posted on your recovery.

Congrats to both of you! Nice to hear your doing so well.

Congratulations on your surgery and quitting smoking! I quit smoking right before my surgery and it is the best thing I have ever done. I am a little over a year smoke free! A lot of positive changes all at once - you can do it!! Good Luck to you!
