i hate 2 get sick will i the ist week after surgery?

You have nothing to worry about. Most people feel much better in a couple days. For me, it didn't even take that long. I really would never even known I had surgery if I didn't have the little cuts on my

tummy. I was out walking 3 dogs the day after surgery.

I lost 22 lbs the first 4 weeks while I had to be on a liquid diet.

thankyou denise my date jan 21

hope we can talk after my surgery taking 6weeks off im a mailman in ny

You should spend time before your surgery just reading all around the board. There is a wealth of information on this board. Try to get familiar with the different sections. The food section has good things to make while you're on the special diet right after surgery.

You might want to stay out of RAnts and Raves. For the most part, that section has nothing to do with the surgery. It's more

of a place where people get their frustrations out.

Hello,

My father just had LB and is suggesting that I get it done; this sounds like a good idea but I am very scared. I am a 24 year old woman who is around 254 pounds, I have tried many different diet plans which work for some time but the weight always comes back. I suppose what makes this even harder is my boyfriend is not supportive of the idea; he thinks it is a copout or excuse for laziness. I dance twice a week and walk whenever I can, I may have an office job but I am not lazy.

I know he loves me just the way I am but I also know his negative thoughts about this is because he has struggled with being too thin all of his life… Now wouldn’t that be a different struggle.I want to thank everyone for all of the information provided; I really am looking forward to reading it.

Loup
