Hi Everyone, I just want to introduce myself. My name is Amy & I just had my lap-band surgery on Wednesday the 22nd. I have lost 10.8 pounds since staring the liquid diet the week prior to surgery. Although I don't feel hungery I can not wait to be able to chew my food again. Good Luck to you all.

So here's my question, I just had my lap-band surgery 4 days ago. My husband and I are going away mid September for our 10 year wedding anniversary. At that time I will be on my second week of soft food and 4 weeks post-op. I hate that I won't be able to drink any alcohol. Besides getting really drunk on a sip or 2 what else could happen?

Yes, I do know that anything carbonated is a big NO NO. Not only does it hurt it could stretch the band. Try not to drink your champagne unless its completely flat

I feel good, just sore in the area where the port is. I was up walking around within a half hour after surgery. Good luck to you
