Thank you so much to everyone for all of your support & prayers..I had my Lap-Band Surgery on Monday June 2, 2014..And everything went great, I couldn't be more happier..The surgeon was brght & Chipper & knew exactly what he was doing, the nurses were all very friendly, courteous & skillfull..And everyone at the hospital just made it a very pleasant experience for me, as best they could anyways.My Surgery took about 2 and a half hours...I was in the 1st recovery room a few hrs.. Then to the 2nd recovery room, where my husband & nurse also sister-in-law were waiting..I'd say within an hour I was up walking & put on my own nightgown & washed my face, brushed my hair & felt good..My surgeon though, thought it best that I stay at least 1 night, because I also had my Gall-bladder removed & needed a Liver Biopsy for my Gastrologist guy..So, I followed orders..I felt very happy & blessed that all had gone so great...No Nausea, stomach pain, or headaches, nothing!..Maybe it was because I really needed to get my Gall-bladder outta there also, I don't know, but what-ever the reason for my new found Health/Vigor & Vitality, I'll take it..I seem not also to have any pain in my joints fom my Arthritis right now also, so Great, Great, Great!...That's All I Can Keep Saying..Even in my own Mishaps, God has once again seen me through...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You...I am on my 1st week now, of my Post-Op Clear liquids & that seems to be also going well...I been up walking around at home bits at a time also, so that helps get the air out & the pressure off my chest from the built up gas..The walking I think has really helped the most & the deep breathing & Coughing, my surgeon suggested..I tell you, I cannot be more happier & I am SO Happy, Happy, Happy I did not allow my fears to Stop me from making this much needed Life-changeing decision to my New Healthier Life-style..Hallelujah & Amen..I see my Surgeon next Monday, 1 week after to look at my incisions & check me out, I can't wait...Hope this helps someone else, getting ready for their Lap-Band surgery also..God Bless You All!...And Thanks Once Again!...Mrs. Debi {Gods Industrious Bee}...+

You do the same as you did and just save the changes and you will notice changes in a couple of months.

I'm scheduled for lap band in Aug. Reading about what steps you went thru, helps me to know what to expect. Glad you are doing well.

Congratulations on being banded. Glad to hear all is well so far.
