Congrats to all!! I had my surgery on the 17th as well I'm able to get as close to 60oz of fluids and I'm also very hungry..... Even after a small meal!! Is this normal?

Great!! Welcome to the other side... I'm 6 days post op and I still feel the gas. Walking is the key!! Gas x and sip on your water. I motivate myself by saying I'm greater than this gas pain. So don't let it stabilize you. Best of luck!

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and love it. I have a question. I'm 3 days post-op and noticed my lap band port is showing around my stomach is this normal? See, I did not tell my spouse I had the weight loss surgery because I knew he would TOTALLY oppose it. Now I feel horrible that he will notice and feel betrayed. I wanted to get my weight and health under control before I tell him. He has been taking on all the responsibilities around the house assuming I had gallbladder surgery. Will the port always show?

Yep....your absolutely right! This is what I get for trying to kept it from him! It's done and I can't turn it around. So I will definitely tell him. I was having issues with myself and that is why I did it without him. In the past he has said "you don't need that" "you look perfect". But I didn't feel perfect I struggle with my weight. A constant battle. But I have a new journey (yayyyy) and my health is in tip top shape so far. I have a lot to be thankful for.

Thanks guys for your well wishes. It was very easy to keep from him during pre-op because I'm always on some type of diet. The gallbladder surgery makes sense because I'm constantly struggling with constipation and nausea as long as we've been together. But he is against the surgery and would have convinced me not to do it. He has already ask to see the stitches and noticed the bulge but assumes its bloating and swelling. Boy am I in trouble!!
