Hi my name is stacey and i just got the lapband in on the 11th and went back to work the next day. Still getting adjusted to it and not taking big drinks.

I had no fear.. Look at the Complications versus the good... The surgery is less invasive than having your gallbladder removed don't be scared

The. Uncomfortable feeling like when i drink.. Like my stomach feels so full.. But i didnt drink that much.. Maybe im still swollen

You would still be healing so just take it slow... It should subside. If it doesnt let your doctor know...

Thank you

Hi all. im doing lb on 3/11. more nervous about diet than surgery itself. Not much of a cook. Microwave is my best friend. Anyone here in ND?

The pre-op diet i had consisted of liquids Protein shakes popsicles broth Jello for 2 weeks. The first day was hard but by the 2nd and 3rd day i was fine and time flew by towards the end of my 2 weeks i was sick of liquids but just kept it up. Had surgery 2/13, and wasnt able to eat or drink that whole day until i did test the next morning, passed the test and started my clear liquid diet. By this time you may be so use to your liquid routine it will not bother you to continue it for another 1-2weeks. You will be so focused on healing then thinking of food. You will get use to it and it isnt that bad! Just think you will be losing a good amount of weight and it will be so worth it! Good Luck!!!
