Hi I am Juanita,I had lapband surgery on 7 April at WRAMC. My doctor's name is Dr. Carmody, who is an Army Surgeon. As of today I feel wonderful. I can't wait to find out how much weight I have lost. I have not been on the scale since Monday before surgery. So far the pain has been minimum. As far as hunger goes I am not hungry, but today I am going to try and eat more. This weight loss journey is something that I am really looking forward to. I know that having the surgery is one of the best decision I have ever made. Keep me in your prayers. Those who are out their that are interested in getting the band I wish you all the best.
