Hello and welcome to this site!! I was just banded on the 18th of this month and I'm also from Long Island. Congratulations on your weight loss!!!

Yummm! I wish I could start my mushy food! My doctor recommends two weeks on full liquids & he will switch you to mushy after the first follow up visit. I can't wait till Tuesday!

I'm one week post op today and I'm having pain near my port site. Is that normal?

Thanks for all the great advice! I went back to work this week and I think I kinda over did it! Feeling much better!!

Woot Woot!!! Congrats!!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!! Welcome to bandedland!!

I find myself looking at the clock and calculating whether or not is time to eat again. As far as the food, I'm having 4 shakes and one soup. I actually look forward for my soup since it's the only savory dish that I'm allow to eat. The other day I had the low fat chicken noodle soup from Panera Bread, I blended it and it was delish!!

Banded on the 18th and back to work today!! Still sore in the area but so far so good! is anyone back to work? Ps. I have a sitting job

Has anyone had the Lap Band while dealing with PCOS?

Congrats!!

I had my surgery on Monday. The best thing to do is walk and walk. I have been walking around the house like a hamster in a spinning ball! Lol. I still have gas in my stomach but the rest is gone. Wish you the best!

I'm glad you're doing good. Get some rest then start walking around the house!

Wow! That was fast! They are not keeping you overnight?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I'm just a little concern with the coughs and the incisions. But I do put a pillow in front of my belly for support. I'm glad you are doing great!

So far so good! I have been trying to do some walking around the house. Right now I have gas pains, my stomach still a little swollen and from time to time I get a little cough.

Thanks ladies! I'm doing better a little sore. I believe I'll going home this afternoon!

Thank you ladies! I'm in my room. I'm sore and my left side of my back is hurting. I was getting the plication as well but due to scar tissue from previous surgeries, The doctor didn't do it. But other than that I'm ok.

I'm at the hospital, my surgery it's scheduled for this morning @ 7:00 am (EST)

I'm having mine surgery on the 18th. We can be lap band sister!

Oh no! I just got my package from bariatric advantage with all my vitamins. I hope I don't get sick!

I have been on my pre op diet for over a week now and I have only lost 3lbs. I wonder if the PCOS has something to do with that?

I'm glad to hear that you are much better!

Ain't nobody got time for that!! I have chosen not to tell to many people for the same reason. Don't want to know, don't want it hear it. Many times people, yes with good intentions try to tell you why you should not have the surgery and yes they always know someone that is not happy with their lap band. But do they know all the facts of why they are not sucessful? Nope Therefore, I pay no mind!!! My surgery is this coming Monday, I can't Wait!!!
