If this is any help, I honestly had more issues with root canal surgery than I did with the lap band surgery. Both times you're out, both times you have a recovery period, but honestly, the surgery and recovery from lap band was a breeze . Up and walking gently the evening after surgery, and just took it easy for 7 days , then went back to work, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddddddd.................. wait for it.............

The weight started falling off ! Woohoo! 1-1.5 lbs a week! Down 62 lbs, 18 to go, and soooooooo worth it !!!!!!!! You can do this, !!! Good luck !!

Lap band surgery was not an elective surgery for me. I was literally killing myself with every mouthful of food. I was committing slow suicide. Lap band surgery was as necessary as gall bladder or appendix removal. Eventually, I would have died from obesity related diseases. Lap band surgery gave me the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Any surgery is obviously a risk, but I want to live a full life, and this was the way to do it. Seize this opportunity- you will be so glad you did. It's still hard work, but the results are worth it.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
