After Reading Everyone Elses Experience With The Lap-band Im Very Excited To Finally Have A Date Set. I'm A Little Worried Aboout That 30 Days After Sugery Where There Will Be No Restrictions For A Couple Of Weeks But I Just Can't Wait. I Think That Its Just A Dream And That Its Never Gonna Happen. Well Wish Me Luck!!

Good for you! I hope its a good experience for you. If you haven't heard about the Book Fighting Weight By K. Ali (One of Mohamed Ali's daughters) it is great. She is the new spokeperson for the Lap Band Co. It has good info. and tells her personal journey (and her surgeion's). Get it if you can. I got mine at Barnes and Nobel. It would make a good recovery read! Good luck!

Congrats! My surgery is June 21st. I have been reading all the post about no restrictions too and my advice would be to follow the diet the Dr. prescribed and think about the band. Practice eating for your new lifestyle. Chew, chew, chew...

I have the same date--tomorrow; I'm psyched. Friends keep asking me if I'm nervous--maybe I should be, but, just getting to this point, I've gone from size 22 jeans to 20's and I'm almost ready for 18's. Once upon a time, a very short time, mind you, I was in size 8's. I'm looking forward to that again. I wish you all the luck. We made a good decision. Keep us all posted.

      My focus the past year has been on adopting healthier habits and getting back into fitness and nutrition.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
