Well the time is finally here... I have been on LBT since the very beginning.. I want to thank everyone for their support and kind words. Tomorrow is my big day and I couldn't be more excited. I have to stay overnight and I am having a hiatel hernia repaired at the same time but as soon as I get home I will let everyone know how I am doing!!! Jennifer

3 days out: the only thing that bothers me is the port site. I am sticking to the diet, and have had no problems. I only take a few ibuprofen at night, so everything can rest. I hope everyone has sucess with the lapband.

I would ask your doc but my doc told me NO ibuprofen!! It makes the blood thinner and harder to heal....

That's terrific! I'd like to say I'm doing as well. I had a H Hernia operation on top of the lap bad. It has set me back a bit. I can not take the pain meds, they knock me out and I wake up with an explosive headache! My family has been taking care of my 2 boys, I don't know what I would have done without them. I had to stay in the hospital and extra day and boy was I glad! I could never have done it without the help of my husband and family. I have gotten to the point I wish I never would have had it done!!!!

I have a liquid diet until I see the doctor on Wed. and then I can start Phase II of the diet, which is adding Protein shakes, yougart etc.

I hope you continue to do well, shopping and all!! LOL : )
