Monday is my surgery..can't wait. I was told at pro op that I would be in the hospital 2 or 3 nights. I know I have made the right choice to have the lap band..but, boy am I getting nervous.

I was nervous as I was being wheeled in. But it was worth it. I am adjusting to my new life style but am very happy about the weight loss. I wish you all the best of luck with your surgeries!

Hi, In was banded on the 21st. My surgeon has me on Clear Liquids until In see him again on the third. My only real concern was feeling likeb I needed to burp or hiccup. Getting use to that sensation. Lost eight pounds. Glad I'm in this place in life instead of kicking myself for gaining weight. Thanks to all of you for being by my side.

All is well. I spent one night in hosp, No gas pains in shoulder, but I did get the dry heaves every time I got up. Not much pain, just some discomfort where the sutures were made. So glad to be on this side of surgery. Good Luck all you March Banders.

I am signing in a lot late, just found all of you on here. I was banded on 1/16/14 and have had my first fill 2 cc's. Can anyone tell me if you had around that amount of first fill, that you feel any restrictions. I don't seem to be feeling any restrictions and am worried about that. My doctors office said I needed to increase my Protein intake which I did, but I feel I am able to eat way more than I should be able too. Worried...any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
