New to the website...new to the lap band



Recommended Posts

My name is Sara and I had my surgery exactly 1 week ago today. Was a breeze but the air in my body needs to leave. my left shoulder has been killing me. I lost about 25lbs pre-op following the programs guidelines and am looking forward to my weigh in on Thursday. My surgeon was Dr. Sloan in Fort Wayne IN. They have a great program. I had to attend meetings 4 weeks before and now 6 weeks afters. It's great to have the support.

No sure how this website works. would love to add a weight tracker but not sure how. ANy suggestions. Looking at other peoples motivates me. Hope i can do the same for others.:redface:

Hi Sara, I am also new to website and lap band. i had mine done four days ago. I sopose i am one of the lucky ones in that i am burping and passing wind like a trouper :redface:. so no sholder pain. Am certainly getting sick of the Optifast liquid diet but i sopose its only two weeks:tongue_smilie:. Hows your exercise going? I went for my first walk today and am still quite tender in the stomach region. How about you?

It's going well. I started walking the day after surgery. 20 minutes three times a day. Except for the day my sister in law said a walkinging trail was about 1 mile. It was actually a little over 2. I've decided to make Monday's my day off. Looking into buying a bike since it's so dark in the mornings before work.

well i was in hospital one night, keep up your pain relief the worst is getting up out of bed and being sore but a week down the track im ok. have been taking loperimide for loose bowls. and am getting sick of Fluid diet. but on the up side i have lost 15 kg in one week, although the dr said i would loose a lot initially then curve back up before the band was filled. Good luck i think its the best decission i have ever made. Helen

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
