I had surgery October 18, I'm in no pain tolerating liquids well!!! I'm in a little discomfort where my port is. My blood pressure is the lowest it's been in years!!! I had no nausea, I'm up walking around!!! I'm soooo glad I had this surgery. My doctor did discover I did have a hiatal hernia, which he removed!!! I can't wait to see my progress in a few months and start to exercise! !!

I so happy we are banded. I went in early yesterday for surgery. I stayed overnight, which was the best. I got all the needed medicines, I was never in pain. I was discharged 10/26 at 4:30 pm. I am home on the couch with my family watching movies. I hope you feel better. I did heat up a wash cloth, placed it in a zip lock to lay on port incursion. I hope you feel better. Did you stay overnight?

Congrats!!! Welcome to your new life!!! I stayed overnight and was discharged at 6am, my mom stayed overnight with me. I was soooo blessed not to be in any pain, I had no gas pain at all. I've had my follow up appointment, and I'm healing excellent. I lost another 6lbs, so I'm down 20lbs total!! I go for my first fill at the end of November!!!

Hi, everyone. So I am a week out tomorrow from being banded. Doing pretty good! I am so close to sleeping on My stomach! LOL on My side for now. I am only hurting when I bend or getting up from sitting. It's really not that bad. Pleasantly surprised! I haven't been very hungry. Not starving I mean. My soda habit. Is gone and I don't even miss it! Hope all is well with everyone!

I am only a day and half from my banding date! Friday late morning is my time.......and has not had a diet coke for like 10 days now....I wonder how it will be sleeping on my left side? I am a side sleeper and it is left mostly. But plan on doing the recliner sleep time for a few days if needed.

I love reading the supportive comments and the support everyone is giving. I am scheduled for my Lapband on 11/21 (yes, the day before Thanksgiving). I am a little nervous but excited at the same time. I start my 2 week diet next week and I know that is the beginning of my new skinny and healthy life.

Thank you BandingMi. I noticed only one or two guys on here but decided what the heck. There is a lot of useful I formation on here, so I won't be going anywhere ???„

I agree, it is nice to have a guy on here!! Welcome Scotland!! Good luck on your liquid diet. Honestly the surgery and recovery for me wasn't that bad. You know what bothered me, when they had to put a tube down my throat during surgery. Days after my throat hurt. Keep us posted!!
