Hi everyone.....I made it through surgery and i'm back at home now. I believe everything went fine and I was up walking around about an hour after surgery. The band is extremely tight and I can barely get water down right now. Every time I take a sip of anything I can feel it go down and then a little burp after it passes. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm hoping it's because of the swelling inside. They told me that I might have to do the clear liquids for a couple extra days to make sure the swelling has gone down before doing the liquid diet again.

Thanks for all the support. Congratulations to everyone for there success, and good luck to those having the surgery soon. I'll keep everybody updated.

November 28th for me!! Yay Me!!!...haha

I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I'm currently in the process to have the lap-band surgery. I've already met with the surgeon once, did a sleep study, and met with a psychiatrist. I've got another sleep study coming up in a couple of weeks, as well as a meeting with a nutritionist. I'm hoping to be banded around Thanksgiving of this year.

Hey Donna....congratulations on your loss so far!! Thanks for the wishes.

Hi Melissa, congratulations to you also. I wish my surgery was coming up that soon.....I'm a little impatient...haha.

Hi Angela....a week away from your surgery, congratulations! Are you getting nervous, or can't wait to get it over with?
