Tomorrow is my big day...lap band surgery first thing tomorrow morning! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I was able to lose 16 lbs pre-op. Started pre-op diet at 229, down to 213. My goal is to get to 140, however I'll take whatever the band gives me. Anyone else start with these stats? Where are you now? Are my goals realistic? How soon did you get to 60 lbs lost? Your help is greatly appreciated! Only positive comments please.

@@jimmc77 yes I had my first fill about 2 weeks ago. Not much restriction yet but I go back the 27th of this month. Hoping to get more restriction. I'm trying to just have protein first so maybe I will continue losing weight.

Welcome @@jimmc77

Just had my operation on December 2nd, 2016.

I'm glad I found this site.

There seems to be some very positive people on here.

Day 5 of post op... so far so good.

Just had my operation TODAY 1/10/17 and the pain is pretty uncomfortable..

Wondering how long this part lasts.

The level of pain and length of time is different for each person. My most painful day was day two after surgery. Each day after that was progressively better. I was feeling at 95% by day 6 post surgery.
