Dear Weight Loss Comrades:

I survived my LapBand surgery today and surprisingly, I feel great. I was really expecting to be in more pain than what I am.

Went in for the surgery at 6 a.m. Surgery performed 7:30 a.m. Discharged at 11 a.m.

The incisions are very tiny. With the exception of some really mild stomach discomfort (which is alleviated with my heated blanket), I feel great for having underwent surgery. Again, I was really expecting to be in a lot more pain than I am.

Haven't regretted anything. I already lost 14 pounds just from having been on the pre-op liquid diet.

This is so worth it!!!

WOW ! Awesome and congrats: ) keep the positive attitude - start walking immediately and measure how long you walk (2 minutes , 10 minutes - whatever it is) and add 30 seconds every day 7days a week. It will make a big BIG difference !

You are on your way!

Congratulations!

Wow, such great news! Good for you. I go in Wednesday morning and pray that my recovery is as great as yours.

I just had surgery today too. Not really in pain just soreness. Only pain I have is in my back and it's a muscle pain that I already had. I don't feel any of the gas pains really. Glad to hear you're doing so well.

Congratulations! I was banded last Wednesday and am feeling great today! So happy for u!

Congrats!! I agree with the walking it will help in so many ways.
