Well I'm back and banded and everything went ok! Iwas so nervous - never been under the knife before, but everything was fine and the hospital were great. I could never have driven home though and I'm glad lulu was able to bring me back. The anasthetic has worn off now, I ache a bit and feel tender, but I'm functioning ok and can see that by the end of the weekend I shall hopefully be in control again. I already feel a difference, although I'm only on liquids - I don't feel the horrendous hunger pangs I used to - or is that just getting over the op? I'm also desperate not to do anything to damage my new 'pouch' so am being careful. Have just been on the scales and they register a 3LB loss! So far so good..

Congrats......I'm new to the world of lap band. My husband and I are doing the journey together. I'm very close to my 5%weight loss and he has just met his. We are hoping to have the surgery in September sometime. We attended our first support group meeting last night. On Aug 19 we attend our class and thats it. Just waiting for the date.

I'm nervous about the liquid diet though. I'm not a big drinker. I also hate to get sick and not looking forward to the first time. I think this alone will keep me on track. I would do anything to avoid this.......

Well best of luck to you and a quick recovery.
