I finally had my lapband done on April 29th. I started the process in October of last year. It was done in Scottsbluff, Nebraska by Dr. Forney and Dr. Holloway. I expected it to be a month or so after I was finally appproved but they scheduled me 2 1/2 weeks later. I was a little stunned, happy and nervous all at the same time. This first week has been very interesting, but I am very happy I got it done.

Congrats on having it done already!!! (My date isn't for another week.) How are you feeling?

Oh yeah, WELCOME TO THE BOARD!

I feel pretty good. A little sore if I over do it. I'm sick of soup already though. lol Congrats on getting yours scheduled and good luck.

Thanks all

I just received my band yesterday, May 23, 2008. So far so good. I was banded by Dr Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. Fly home to Fremont, Nebraska tomorrow. Not looking forward to long day but should be okay. Congrats to all the other new bandsters. Tonja:smile2:

Ok Tonja. 4 days after surgery and you should be home by now. How are you feeling??

My name is David I just got banded on May 22nd I am still feeling woozey and having a little problem with getting my fluids in . I ws 528lbs when I started this process and day of my surgury weighed 467lbs glad the surgury is over but will be glad to start feeling more like my self . Did any one else feel like this and how long did it take you to stop feeling sick ? I have been walking . and have had nothing but Broth , water , sf jello and sf popsycles and a liquid vitamin.

Hi, David and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on getting your band and on your great start with the weightloss. You are off to an excellent start! I am still pre-op for another 3 weeks, so I can't answer your question about that icky feeling, but I do hope you get to feeling better soon!

I managed to make it home on Sunday. Rested yesterday and back to work today. Working seems to take my mind off how bad I feel. Still hurts more than I think it should but it is manageable. Lots of gas pains too. I am going to try and keep plugging away at work.
