Hello everyone! I've been a lurking here for sometime and truly appreciate all of the information I've learned. I just had by lap band surgery yesterday 7/8 with Dr. Hoehn in Overland Park, KS. Everything went great! My surgery was at 9:15am and I was home at 4:30pm. I'm sore now, particularly at my port site but am managing the discomfort with tylenol since the lortab makes me nauseated and goofy. I feel so good to finally post and introduce myself. Thanks so much and good luck to all!

Hello- I had my surgery in October 2008. I'm new to this site also. I hope you continue to do well.. take it easy.

OH, I'm so jealous! Congratulations. I wish the best of luck on your journey. A lady I work with had the procedure done about a year ago and she said a trick she learned was. In the morning, she would always (and still is) sick to her stomach from all mucus in her stomach. She told me to drink some hot tea first thing in the am and it will wash all that yucky stuff out of your pouch. She like peppermint tea the best! Good luck to you! The lady I work with has lost over 100lbs!

Best of luck to you! I am waiting for my psyc consult. It is in 2 weeks now. I try to contain myself and be patient but it is so hard. I want to get moving!

had mine done on 7/9. Doing good but I drank milk today and have been "dumping" all day. I guess milk isn't good for me. Lortab has helped alot. Plan to back to work next Thursday. I think this will be the best thing I've ever done!!!!! Good Luck!!!:confused:
