I just got my lapband a little over a week ago and thought that it would be nice to find a support group so here I am. I am so excited about the journey that I am taking and I thank everyone in advance for all your help to this newbie.

Congrats! I am in the process of going through my preop now. I am on week two, and I have lost 12 pounds just doing that. I get banded on Sept. the 9th and I can't wait. So back to you, how are you doing? Tell us more about your experience. Did you suffer a lot with the gas?

Did you have a preop? Okay I guess I've asked enough question but I'm just curious about everyone's surgery because sharing on this site has really helped me and I'm sure others.

Bye

Welcome! You will find the people here very supportive and helpful. If you have any questions, please ask. There will be SOMEONE who knows the answer or has experienced what you are talking about.:blushing:

Welcome, I was banded on 8-28-08 and I am feeling great. Slight abdominal pain due to hiatal hernia surgery.

I am excited for the new life ahead...Best of luck to you.
