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!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
