My lap band surgery was July 12, 2012. Today is July 23, 2012. My starting weight was 264. I now weigh 252. My goal weight is 135 lbs. I am still sore in my stomach area. I get tired easily. I am off work until August 7, 2012. I have alot of lifting on my job. I go for my first fill on August 13, 2012. I'm still healing, but I think I am doing pretty good, so far. I have so much to learn, but I look forward to it. I love this lapbandtalk.com website. I been reading so many good articles. Thanks for reading my article. I will try to answer questions or give the best advice to everyone who needs it. I will probably have some questions myself, through my lapband journey.
