Hi!!!! I got my lap band "my baby" on 11/12 with dr. Rami lutfi in Chicago. I love this app and so far everyone I've encountered have been wonderful!!! I'm looking for a buddy or mentor who I can chat with!

I was banded on 11/10 at Day One by Dr. Ellie. Surgery was a lot quicker than I thought. I also had my hernia repaired so the healing is taking a little longer.

Hi!!! How are you feeling?? I also had a hernia repaired, and I'm just ready to feel like myself again. this gas pain is obnoxious!!! How is everything progressing??

I think I may have went back to work too early. My biggest cut kinda hurts, mostly because I picked up a grocery bag. I know very stupid on my part. So far my hungry is not too bad. Between shakes and tuna or baked fish I get up to about 800 calories a day.

Oh no. I hope you're feeling a little better. I was going to go back to work 5 days after surgery but I had to go back to the hospital and I just took that as a sign to stay home another week. I'm sure the boss isn't happy about it but oh well!! Ugh I wish I could eat fish or tuna!! I'm still on a liquid diet and next week I get to progress into mushy food for another two weeks, and then I can have soft solids!!! My hungries are killing me!! :'(
