I had my lap band on March 30, 2009..I am just out of the hospital since yesterday. I feel really good, with a slight bit of discomfort qand I am taking Tylenol Extra Strenght for pain. I know this sounds silly, but I feel funny feeling too good. Has anyone else had a good track record feeling so good after surgery? I would love to know!

Hey congrats on getting your band done! Glad you are doing good. Maybe you have really good meds? lol. I felt good I was just really sore and couldn't get comfortable. I wasn't in too much pain. The discomfort only lasted 3-4 days and I was back to normal.

I would say your one of the lucky ones. I too have had no issues thus far. (knock on wood) About the only thing was the lack of energy for the first 6 weeks. But my body got use to it and I started exercising which made me feel like a million bucks. Weight loss has been steady and fast. I am getting a fill tomorrow to help get the last lbs off. (my goal weight is my doctors goal weight, which I think is really low and wont happen since I am gaining muscle) Still losing but slower at this point. Before surgery I never exercised and now I can run 5 miles on a treadmill non-stop at 6mph. So yes I am feeling great and loving life. Good luck, eat healthy and often, and exercise:biggrin:.

Thats great! Congrats! I feel the same, very minimal pain. I was banded on the 27th and the only real pain I feel is tenderness where my 6 incissions are. Other than that, I am pretty much back to normal. Congrats & good luck!
