Hello everyone!

I am new to this and I'm in the process of completing all of my testing (blood work, cardiology clearance, psychological interview, nutritionist) for the Lapband. If all goes well, I will have a date set for January 2017. I am a little nervous because I've never been put to sleep before nor have I had surgery. How is it when people wake up from the procedure? Is the pain minimal and is there a large drop of weight the first month? Any advice would be so appreciated!

Merry christmas. When I awoke from getting my sleeve done I was thirsty and groggy. You usually are in and out of grogginess from the pain meds and anesthesia. I had pain when I stood up or sat down but I was up and walking a few hours after surgery. As far as weight loss, I had my sleeve done Dec 6 and I am about 35 pounds down. Everyone loses different though plus when u leave the hospital you will most likely have some Water weight from fluids.

Merry Christmas! You seemed to have handled it well I assume. I hope I'm the same way. I just wish my Cardiologist would clear me already. Wow, 35 pounds already! That is so amazing!! Keep up the great work! Thank you sooooo much for all the information, I really appreciate it.
