Yes...I have some discomfort sitting in a regular chair. I too can do the recliner, but sitting up for too long is very uncomfortable and I have to lay down for a bit . I think this is just normal. Everything has gone smoothly for me as well but I sit in a chair at work and I am a bit concerned that I will not be able to sit as long as I normaly do. Would it look funny if I stood and answered the phones ? LOL....

<BR><BR><BR>TY Ocelia ! I am pretty darn happy right now as well ! xoxo

I am on day 3 after surgery and believe me when I say, that I had all the same feelings your are having. I think most of us do. I decided against that sports car I could have had and and going the the healthy sporty body that I will have. I am a self pay too. So far I feel great and no complications. Its strange how you can embrace new feelings on your life and food. You will be fine and I say go for it. ! Best of Luck

I live in Missouri. Dr. Mally did my banding on Aug 2nd. (Tues)...He is in Stugis now, having a great time. (motorcycle rider) LOL...I am a self pay and all went well with the surgery. The staff at New Hope was amazing and I am down 11 lbs since the pre-surgery diet. I am still sore but doing well. Glad you got insurance to cover it. WTG... I have hardly begun my journey, but at this point 3 days after surgery, I am happy I chose to change my life. I didnt need that sports car anyway ! LOL...Good Luck.

<BR><BR><BR>Yes, Doing very well. So far so good. Looking forward to getting past the 2 week recovery mark. I am very impatient...LOL...Just want to do alittle more exercise. My boobs are getting smaller already ! LMAO ! <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif">

Well, this much I know. I feel 100% better. The "Tiny" Gas pills are a blessing. They have really taken alot of the bloating out of my stomach and I am not taking the pain med anymore. which was making me nauseous. I have been drinking liquids, but have a hollow feeling in my gut. Hurts sometimes. I made some potato soup (NOTE TO SELF: PEEL POTATOES NEXT TIME...) and has helped take the Hollow out. I had that yesterday about 3 times at 1 TBL per sitting and I think it is miracle potatoe soup. I feel so much better today. Am still taking it easy. I slept so much better last nite as well. Wish I could sleep on my stomach, but alas, not yet. So FAR so GOOD. YEAH !

Not far off from your Band Date ! Yeah. I will be praying for you and your speedy recovery. Thanks for your support

Thanks for the continued support. I feel so much better on day 3. Getting used to the fact that I cant eat alot and dont want to eat alot is wonderful. !!! I think i should have done this 3 years ago, but chickened out...Oh well...A new start ..a new day.

So glad you are doing so well. 14 lbs...thats great. So far I am down 11 from the beginning of my pre surgery diet. Looking at 6 lbs away from the 200 mark. That would be nice to pass by ! Keep up the good work and keep me posted ! YEAH ! US !!!

I am so taking your advice. It is an assult ...I just have to remember to be a good patient and I am trying very hard and I THINK I am Succeeding !

Congrats Lyssa ! It will be fine. Was banded on Tues and I am feeling 100% better on day 2 !!! Good Luck ! And keep in touch !

You will be fine. I had my surgery on Tues and am feel 100% better. Miracle Tiny Gax X pills were my cure. Pooted all nite long but it felt so good ! You will do great. Give us an update when your ready.

I do feel much better. Not on the pain meds anymore. Nausea...no thank you. Am feeling alot better today.

Well, No horror stories here, and I would love to visit and respond to those who have inquired about my surgery, but havnet got the energy as of yet to spend much time on the computer. All went well up until last nite. When I coughed and got nausous. Of course the nurse told me she didnt think I would need the nausea meds as I was doing so well when I left, but that would not be the case. I had already taken the liquid hydrocodone and not had issue with that making me sick...So I am no sure what brought it on other than the cough and of course I had the hernia which makes your neck/shoulder hurt. Needless to say I have been in and out of nausea all nite. I do believe after trying the mylanta for gas, which wasnt working, I took a tinly gas pill and I pooted all nite. I found that laying on my left side moved the gas faster thru my system than laying on my right side. I am saying this to be helpful. I do believe the nausea was due to the gas and the pain from coughing only made it worse. I am sore today and plan to do as little as possible. I walk around the yard once and that is enough for me. That's about all the news I have right now. BTW I never did really throw up anything..just and uncomfortable dry heave and spittle... So that was good. Never would I have leaned over the toilet. The sink was my option ! LOL... All IN All I am good. Expected a few issues the first 3 days anyway. I havent cried yet and that is good. LOL...More later.

Alright...making fun of me Tiny ! Those gas pills really work and make me feel 100% better than I did from day one.

<BR><BR><BR>Thanks Bren...I am doing well. <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif">

thanks for the warm wishes ! It is going well so far. I really cant complain too much ....Well, I could, but I wont ! LOL...

Thanks for the words of support ! Its going well. Trying not to whine ! LOL

Thanks and good luck with the nip and tuck recovery. Will need a reduction and lift after its all said and done, myself.

Well, its the day before my surgery. My clear liquids day. Am afraid I will be a raging *itch before the day is over. Oddly enough I am not nervous. Just resigned to the fact that this is the only way to control myself. I have been looking at before and after pictures of banders and its making me feel much better. Still, I am alittle sad today.

<BR><BR><BR>Thanks so much for asking. ..It did......I am sure I will be doing better in the next couple of days. <BR>
