I am looking for lapband buddies in my area for support and encouragement, and maybe lots of prayer.

Pat

Had my banding Thursday, pain pulls are great nausea patch in place. Feeling pretty good. I did sneak a bit of cheeseburger, of which I feel sooo guilty of.

Hey Pat -I'm Jan, I live about an hour away. I'm scheduled to have my surgery on Thursday.

Hey Pat -I'm Jan' date=' I live about an hour away. I'm scheduled to have my surgery on Thursday.[/quote']

Hey Jan, good luck with the surgery, I felt pretty good on the first day, of course drugs helped. I am sore this is day 3 of post op - I was banded Thursday myself

How are you sleeping? My surgeon places the port right above the left breast, so needless to say it pulls tremendously, so I'm having to sleep on a recliner. I'm so looking forward to getting into my bed.

I'm 4 days post- op and the boredom is killing me! All these food commercials, so my head hunger is on the rampage!

Sorry to hear you are not sleeping, what a horrible place for a port. Mine is right above my belly button, I am no longer sore I am 10 days post-op and I feel great so far . Started soft foods, last Wednesday. But feel like I am eating all the time. I am ready for the feel I think :-/

Hey Jan how are you feeling?

My dr said this is the most stable location to put a port and reduces the risk of the port flipping. I can't feel it right now so I can't wait to go back on Wednesday and have him show me exactly where it is.

For the most part, I'm doing fairly well. Still having pulling pain in my port site. I'm so over the clear liquids'. I've had way too much time to think about food. It's those boredom head cravings, but I'm managing'

Hi Ladies, I live in Peachtree City, GA. but I am just starting my journey. I go to a seminar in Fayetteville on the 21st. I hope I will be able to get banded by the end of the year. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Hello we are neighbors I attend church in Fayetteville. Good luck and keep us posted. Are you excited?

I am so excited and terrified at the same time. I hope the process will go smoothly and I can get banded sooner rather than later.

I will be glad to have a fill, I feel no restrictions and I eat everything that is soft, I feel like I am putting my weight back on. Maybe I need to go back to liquid diet

Hows everyone doing so far? I am not feeling any restrictions so far:-( looking forward to my 2nd fill.

I have lost 22 pounds so far :-D yehh

Don't worry about slight weight gain post operatively..depending on your pre op diet some will be glycogen stores, Fluid, swelling, try to choose healthy soft options. When your on hard crunchy god you will easy less and feel fuller...
