i was extremely anxious too! i kept thinking what if it doesn't work or i eat too much! but now being banded for one month today i now know having lap band surgery was the best decision of my life. I'm slowly but surely falling back in love with life and exploring new things again! I haven't felt this way in years!

Thx. Yes yesterday was the big day. So for yesterday, I was very sore, full of air/gas, couldn't for the life of me get it out. Did walking and let two lil tiny burps out. Took 2 pain pills which helped knock me out. Today I'm sore, don't feel so bloated, it's still to early to tell...

      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?
