Hello I just got approved I'm 30 years old starting weight 216 height 5'2 current weight 210 with a few co morb example hbp and pcos my pre op appt is September 4th my surgeon it's going to be on vacations the rest of august .., well deserved vacation hope to hear from your experiences and good luck everyone

congratulations! I'm 4 weeks post-op and so happy to have my band. Almost 19 lbs lost in 4 weeks....I know, everyone says concentrate on healing and I have...this was just a really great side benefit! The surgery was fine. I had port tenderness for several weeks that made it difficult to get in and out of bed and to sit for long periods of time without a pillow on my lap to cushion the port. Some people don't experience that; I did. Bring a pillow to the hospital with you! Get up and walk afterwards as much as you can. Listen to your body! Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congrats to u both:)!!
