So my surgery was yesterday 8/3 and it went well. I did the single incision lap band surgery and it doesn't look so bad. I hardly have any pain either. I am so happy to start this new journey! I wasn't nervous at all...even once I was in the operating room. I was excited. The Dr.s did a great job. I had broth and jello so far...yummy lol! I was able to walk once the affects of anethsia went away, and I got up all night to use the bathroom various time without any help. The worse part was the nausea after the anethsia...after they gave me meds for that I was pretty good. My pain from a scale from 1 to 10 was about a 3 and not constant pain, just when i moved to certain positions. I am so glad I am over with the surgery, but I have a feeling that this was the easiest part lol...

Hi everyone - Congratulations Adelarosa on making through the first part of your journey successfully! Good to hear its not so bad and that you are fine!

Hey, what is the single incision thing, I thought they need to make a few little incisions? I have a final appt with my doctor tomorrow, guess this is something I need to ask about!

I was banded on the 3rd too, and I didn't really have any pain either. I am glad that it is over and ready to get on with the weight loss.

i enjoy so much reading these posts.. i will be banded on monday the 10th... i hope my experience is as good as yours :tongue2: congrats!

mommyx2 -

YAY we have the same band date !!! :ohmy:

Congrats on becoming a bandster! Where did they make your incision? Is it by the belly button? I think the single incision thing is cool, but I am not worried about it because a couple scars will go blend in nicely with my stretch marks.. lol. Congrats again and hope you heal fast!

Congrats! Glad all went well and your feeling well.:ohmy:

Jenny,

Good luck on Friday. Dr Fielding is also my surgeon. He did a single incision. I can't say enough wonderful things about him and his entire operating team.
