today is day 2 post-opt for me seems to be going ok. passing alot of gas now but, i have gas x's to help with that and its working long with walking around alot. seem to not be very hungry to drink all the liquid at this moment but, im working on it.

thanks so much for all the support and prayers they got through surgery went fine it was only 30mins. no real pain. only had the dry hives for some reason. but, it was under control. glad that i had it done.:biggrin:

hi all, i must say everything went well surgery was only an half an hour , And cuts are so small. didn't have much pain did have the dry hives for a while. but, once it was taken care of it was alright. one thing is for sure it was the right choice for me. good luck everyone lets keep in touch with each other. :smile2:

hi all surgery went good it took 30mins and in recovery almost an hr before i woke up and was talking. i wasn't that bad at all. only thing was i had a bad case of the dry hives for a while but, after changing the medication for the seconde time it was alright. also i think small goals are better as it seems like something reachable rather than having to try and do the whole large amount. thanks all for the support. how is everyone doing.

today is also my surgery day i made it, i think im doing alright. well good luck to everyone getting band today. see everyone when i get back.:thumbup::confused_smile:

hey everyone, hows everybody doing? well im ok welcome back sw.heart181. i thing its from the gas i hear some people say they gained weight a few days after surgery dont sweat it i will melt right back off as your dr has u on a strict diet. and for lonestarloser sorry i didn't c your post sooner. but, here is what i think, you should do what your dr says as you dont want any thing to get in that wound. you have plenty of time to excerise. your health is more important. keep us updated on whats up with you.

great job pete your doing a great job hope i do as good.

thanks linda, i dont plan on taking any crap at all. as i will tell them to get the hill out of my room. plus my mom and lap band partner, and my girl big gurl x will be there so i kno someone will speak for me until i can. plus my mom is staying late with me. so i will be fine i hope. just a little worried about the shoulder pain which is related to the gas pain. i plan to just walk it out, reguardless if im in pain or not. hopefully it wont be to bad for me. i have sickle-cell so im use to the pain some. we will see. 3-days and a wake up to go.

hi akirrastar710, to answer a few of your questions when i decided to lose weight i lost 8lbs on my own. then once i attended the first appointment i was told to start sb and i was lucky enough for a fellow lapband buddy on this paticular site to lend me her book. i followed it to a t. i lost 31lbs on it. but, the last week i did both protein shakes and a sb lunch and dinner just to get myself use to it. but, to answer your question 8lbs on my own and 31lbs on there diet. but, remember im bigger than others here. everybody sitting down when i started i was 432lbs:confused_smile::wink:. and at my final weigh in on monday of this week i was 389lbs:cool2: still to big but, im working on it:thumbup:. hope this helps you if you have any questions send me a private message we can chat. good luck to you.

hey everybody how is every thing going? me im doing good just getting ready for surgery on monday. was wondering if anyone else will be having surgery that day. also congradulations big gurl x im going to remember this nurses name and if given her going to ask for another nurse after meeting her i see that she is not fat friendly. i dont want anyone careing for me that is not fat friendly as i will not put up with any one making me feel funny for being big. other that that im ok for now. i have 4days and a wake up till im banded. see everyone at the finish line.

:tt1: go luck all newly banders and those of us being band this week.:thumbup:

hi all how is everyone doing these days? so many of you have had your surgery and next week the rest have theres. welcome mr.mike glad to have you join. and i think that is that is a great goal. i have lost 43lbs in 2.5 alittle over that its almost been 3 monthes on the 18th it will be and i did it in that short of a time. and everybody said i couldn't "sat there a$$es down" now those same people say you dont need to have surgery you lost all that weight on your own. so you look at those same people that said you was crazy and here's a inside joke say "hi hater, bye hater" and thanks pete, im not worried everything will work out. tried to tell them that it was because i hadn't eat. so im ok im getting my band on monday that's for sure. so for those of you that have already been banded tell me how was it. and how do you feel and how much weight have you lost since them. i kno this is for some of the bigger banders tell me how was it. and the pain.

hi all just wanted to update everyone and let them know every thing went alright at my final weigh in. although my blood pressure was quit low 90/60. so i have to go back on wednesday for them to read it again. i told them that i had not eaten since the 9pm the night before as my appointment wasn't till 230. so they just told me to eat before i come. so as of yesterday im down 43lbs. happy about that. see everyone at the finish line

good luck to those getting band on the 6 and 7th your in my prayers and i hope you have a speedy recovery.
