I'm five days post op, feel great, back to work at our business, no lifting. No pain, slight reminders I'm healing from time to time. Lost 12 lbs since Monday, 30 lbs total since started the liquid diet two weeks preop. No pain meds, drinking my liquids, sleeping great! Even on my stomach. Old habits hard to control while sound asleep. Been a great experience so far. Wife was banded same day, she doing great, but has more discomfort than me. Hang in everyone, it gets so much better

So, had LB on Monday, been an interesting ride. Started liquid diet on the 6th, lost 18lbs. Surgery on the 20th. When Doc went in, he found my stomach completely moved and adhered where it shouldn't have been. Probably a very old injury never detected. However it has had a major effect on me and my relationship with food, digestion. Lotta answers gotten. Anyway, fixed that, banded me. First day/night was hell. Got a lively cathador, sore and out of it. Tuesday much better. Went home. So as of Saturday I've lost nearly 30 lbs, feeling real good. Sleeping great, minimal pain. Miss eating but not starving, miss the act of eating and chewing. Start with puréed foods Monday. Follow up visit. YEA!! Wife is doing well, not as well as me, she had a hernia repaired with her LB. causing some issues. Sorry to be long winded. Anyone struggling? Hang in, it gets better then great!
