So after 6 months of classes, but years of my doc telling me I needed to something it's 3 days away.

I am so nervous. Can I do this. Will I know what to do. Oh boy. I am in the health profession so I know the things that can go wrong.

With any procedure there is a risk, but no risk means no reward. If you want the best results follow the rules, simple as that. Of course there is always still a chance for problems but they will be greatly reduced if you are do as you are told. Keep talking to people in our community online, or at a local support group. Read blogs. Make time to put yourself first. You will be glad you did =)

chicago rose is so correct. just follow the rules set by your doctor and than come here for any questions you may have. this site is made up of very supportive ppl who are all at different periods in the lap band life. good luck to you.

If it gives you any comfort, there are many (including myself) nurses on the site who are bandsters

Best wishes to you! I am a little jittery but I keep thinking about how I can't continue like this without really compromising my life. Apnea, high BP, arthritis.... I am in my fifties and want to have a healthy, happy future.

Hello, I just had my lab band surgery on Tuesday. I'm feeling much better but still have pain in my chest. It feels like I need to burp. Does anybody know how long this pain can last?
