Today is my surgery and I am super excited to begin my journey of Lap Band Living! I am all packed up and ready to go. Weighed in at 304 lbs. this morning after my 2 days of Clear liquids. Have all my necessities ready for me when I get home. I've got my timer next to my recliner for my walking every couple hours, and sipping on my liquids every 15 minutes. Let's DO this!

Best of Luck to you! See you on the other side

Yay!! Congrats! You've got this!!

Thanks you guys! It was smooth sailing today! Now comes the work...that is totally worth it!

Congratulations, and welcome to Bandland!

How exciting! How are you feeling pain wise?

Good.... The gas is the worse part but I keep walking. It'll be so worth it!

Having some issues with my band being too tight, have not been able to keep any liquids down. In the hospital on anti-inflammatory meds for swelling, and IVs for dehydration. The fluoroscopy taken yesterday shows the band has not slipped, but there is barely a trickle of fluids being passed through. So this is the second step, if it doesn't work, there may have to be a revision. Still in the game, just need to some good vibes sent this way! Thanks you guys.

Hope you are all doing well and on your way to success!

Oh no, did you have a fill already? Sending positive vibes your way! Did this come on slowly?

I'm so sorry

How are you feeling? I've been thinking about you.

@Junebug36 No fills, this was from the original band placement on Tuesday. No Fluid added at time of placement. Dr. tried to remove any trapped air via port site, felt good for a bit, but still too restricted...at least I know what THAT feels like for future reference!

Awe, thanks plopez! I am just working these nurses tails off....NOT!!! I'm probably one of the easiest patients they've had. I can take a walk all by myself with my IV stand and grab some ice chips, and they just refill meds I need. I'm easy, (don't let it get around) LOL!! JK

How are you and junebuggy2004 doing from your surgeries yesterday?

Awe...hang in there weevie! Hope you feel better soon and not stuck there too long. Sounds like they are taking great care of you!

I'm doing good. Had the shoulder pain yesterday but not bad today. Made breakfast for my man, helped make bed and folded clothes. Then a nap. Lol

Hate the liquid medicine-yuck

Hope your doing well weevie. Thoughts and prayers your way. You certainly have a positive attitude and that is a great start!

Good luck. Thinking of you.
