It's official! I've got the Lap Band! No major pain. It hasn't gotten higher than a 6 on the 1-10 pain scale. The gas pain in my shoulders and back have been worse than my belly. Lots of walking around. I actually plan on walking at the mall today with my hubby. I'm posting progress videos on YouTube if you'd like to follow along. https://www.youtube.com/user/MrsUglyshoes Bought the Lap Band Talk's Kindle book. The price is pretty steep - $29.99! Most expensive book I think I've bought besides college textbooks. It's quite helpful though, going day by day on what to expect and do pre & post Lap Band. What are you guys using for guides to Lap Band besides paperwork from your surgeon? Thanks!

My surgery is tomorrow. Any tips??

Hi Marybell - My surgery is Dec. 6. I'm very excited for us both. I'm nervous about lifting things as well though I don't have any kids. My job requires it. How often do you ride your bike? That is something I really want to do but I have to buy a bike first! Where did you get yours? Good luck!
