Hi, I got banded too today. Home now. Well got Home at 8pm. They fixed my hernia also. Minimal pain. When I initially woke up omg, holy pain!! Took a few shots of pain meds to control it. Glad you both are doing well. So far I don't have gas pain either! Knock on wood!! I have been getting up and doing some walking. A tiny bit of discomfort in chest but nothing too bad. Can't believe I am on the other side!!

Ok I spoke too soon. Lots of gas pain. Bought baby simethicon drops, but not really helping. Very sore on port site. I dont know how much he put in my band, but can definately have more than 2cc of broth. Also anyone know uf a binder helps? FYI, I ordered nectar, its pretty good. Have only tried ice tea, but not too bad. How is everyone else?

Got lapband yesterday morning. I had so much pain! Now I have abdominal pain by the incisions. It's been easy sticking to the liquid diet so far. Hopefully I feel the same in a couple days.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
