Well after six months of planning, lab tests, docter visits, psychological evalutions and a 14 day liquid preop diet. My Lap band surgery was completed 2 days ago.
I was truly blown away of what an amazing and truly professional job the staff and my Docters at NYU Langone Hospital in New York City did for me and my surgery.
From me being admitted, surgery, recovery and discharge, the staff at NYU will go above and beyond for you and your family.
I was released the same day and I have to say the only discomfort I had was some bloating and pinching near my incisions which is normal.
In the beginning, I was skeptical and a little scared of going under the knife. But I totally agree with all the other past banders on this site who gave me the support I needed to make the first step.
I thank you all for that and for your support. And to all you contemplating WLS for yourself. Think it over, then think it over again and if its right for your by all means go forward and enjoy your life to the fullest.
I will check in from time to time to let you all know how my progress is going.
All the Best!!!!
