JerseyGirl2u....Thanks for the support. I did very well. I had the surgery on 5/6. I am still on soft foods, but there was no real pain involved. Yes, I too am somewhat skeptical about everything I read. Reading some of the posts are the reason that I was scared, and in the end, I have to say that it was pretty easy. Either that or I was lucky. Thanks again. I appreciate your input.

Sadie, you should teach a class. Loved your post. Have been banded since 5/6/08. Will be going for my first fill on 6/16. Everything you said made so much sense. Take care and thanks for the encouraging advise. Sharon -

Hello everyone. I had my lap band done on 5/6/08. I am back at work, no pain, no complications, frankly, it was a breeze. Looking forward to some weight loss. Hope this is some encouragement for someone who is contemplating or afraid. -

SharonH replied to drekagirl1976's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a bit nervous. My surgery is scheduled for 5/6. Comments regarding pain after surgery have been quoted from "not as bad as I thought" to "horrible". Any of you have any regrets? -
Hey Sharon... You'll do just fine!!! Trust me, I was scared to death, and it was over before I knew it!! I sit here and still can't believe I had it done!! It will be 2 weeks tomorrow. Also, try not to read to much into this sight. (it will drive you nuts!!) You will find a few good people that will tell you the truth about everything.. then you got nutty people on here that will tell you that they ate 4 slices of pizza, cookies, ice cream, ect.. and don't understand why they are not losing any weight, then you hear the complications, but no one really goes into details and they give you half ass stories. So you end up having to weed out the facts from fictions. The band is a tool... You will need to make a life time adjustment. You will have to want the change!!! I'm sooo happy I had it done! You need to mentally want this!!! Lots of luck w/ you... if you ever have any questions, please ask!!! Best wishes!!

Congratulations Jerseygirl. I am scheduled for 5/6 and also a bit nervous. Glad you are doing well, would apprecitate any advise. -
Dear Froglady, Any regrets or advise. I am scheduled for the lapband on 5/6. Did you spend the night in the hospital? How many days before you could get around without pain?

I am just beginning the process for the lapband. I have gone to the seminar and recently had an appointment with the nurse, dietitian and the physicial therapist. I have an appointment in April with Dr. Posner to discuss and schedulethe surgery. This question goes out to anyone that has already had the surgery.....Do you regret having the surgery?
