My surgery is set for June 4th, sooooo excited! Looking for fun people to have this experience with! Thanks and good luck everyone!

Actually not as bad as I thought. Been drinking tons of water and eating jello. I worked all day and have been in deep clean mode. Hospital cAlled and I got bumped. I now have to be there at 930 in the am and my surgery is set for 11.

I cleaned for the last two days too. Lol! I figured I'd feel better if my room was cleaned. Then I totally rearranged my side of the bed with a bigger side table and a basket for all my books, medicines, chargers, etc. Now I'm settling in to read a chapter and hopefully go to sleep. You're just an hour behind me tomorrow, I'll wait to hear from you! Good luck!

Good luck to all who have their sugery tomorrow!

Prayers for peace today would be much appreciated!!!! Freaking out a bit about the surgery part.. Surgery is for for 4 hours away.

Good luck!!! Keep us posted!!!

I had my surgery this morning everything went great!!!! GOD IS GOOD I didn't have a hernia at all I do have the gas pain in shoulders, but nothing my heating pad & biofreeze isn't taking care of.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Hello! So it's been a week and a day since I had my lap band surgery! I have lost 20 lbs, and I feel great! I haven't felt like I've been recovering from surgery at all, my life is back to normal as it was, including the foods I can eat. I have followed my post-op diet pretty well, but have noticed when I slip up that some foods they say will bother you, don't. An example, my family and I went to eat Mexican food a few nights ago, and I ordered refried beans( on my doctors list), but they came with a side of rice( not on his list). I ate some rice , and had no problem with it at all? I know no matter what I should follow my doctors list, but it's difficult...

Solson8201- how are you??

Just got home from the hospital. Feeling ok right now. Gas pain is the only thing bothering me- makes it hard to take a deep breath.

I'm feeling good too. I was very nauseous after surgery from the anesthesia, which was pretty miserable. Better now though. I got home a little while ago. Gas pains not too bad (I think because all the wrenching made me burp a lot). Glad it went well for you too! Talk to you tomorrow :-)

utkscvol1, hope all went well. How are you doing?

Time4Kim, Good luck with your surgery! Best wishes!

Thank you, ArtM - How are you doing?

Solson8201 & utkscvol1- Glad to hear you ladies are both doing good and are home. My prayers are with you that you continue to feel good. I am just a few hours behind you... ready, but nervous.

Lots of luck tomorrow to all of the June 14th bandsters! Hope all goes well!!!
