LADY LOVELY

Hello everyone!

I have had my consult appointment and I have scheduled my Lap Band for November 3, 2011. I am torn between being thrilled, scared and nervous. My husband and I had been talking this over for a while and he wasn't so sure. After watching all of the videos on youtube.com about all of the things that can go wrong.......Well, he was a little concerned. We prayed about it. For my birthday, my husband gave me a card with a "coupon" for 1 free Lap Band. I about cried. Now, I am looking at getting through the 2 week diet pre-op and figuring out how the first few months after the operation will be. This forum has been very helpful and I thank everyone for their encouragement. Does anyone has any advice or stories about how they were feeling and eating in the first few months out? Also, I am wondering what the longest that someone has had the band in place?

Thanks!

Laura

WELL i THOUGU WHERE SUPPOSE TO BE ON A LIQUED DIET FOR TWO WEEKS??? HMMM MAY THATS Y UR SICK???

Hi Everyone,

I am Kelli and I just had Lap Band on Monday. I am not feeling great today and came online to see if I can find some reassurance that what I feel is normal. I am feeling bloated with heartburn and uncomfortable. I had some cottage cheese for breakfast and felt fine after that. Then I had some mashed potatoes with my Protein powder for lunch and was fine. At 3 I had my Protein shake and my calcium chews and felt too full. I thought it would go away. They told me a couple of hours. It has been over 4 hrs and I still feel uncomfortable. My incision where the port is nearby is uncomfortable too. I was told by my doc that I would be fine in few days after surgery but I am still waiting. Is this normal? Hope you all are doing GREAT!

HEY LADY CONGRATS THATS GREAT!!!! I GET MY SURGERY ON THIS TUESDAY..
