Hello, My name is Robyn I live in East Texas ( Cedar Creek Lake) I got my lap band surgery last Tuesday Aug. 5th, I felt like I had been run over by a Mac Truck for the first 2 days then I got better, The Third day I woke up to my bed being Totaly soaked in blood from my stomach you talk about freaking out! We had to go to the ER, they said it was just a pocket that had formed inside and it had to find a way out and my incustion was the closest spot, so I guess I paniced for nothing, it is still leaking though. How soon did you all start drinking your protien shake? I have not had any problems swallowing anything but my band is wide open still, will that change? So far I am happy I did it, I have a brand new Grandson Trevor who I want to be able to get in the floor and play with, he is my sunshine.

Hello, Girl if you can take the time off DO IT! I am now 10 days post op, and the first 3 days I swear I felt like I had the flu, my body was aching, I asked the Dr. if they dropped me off the table and just drug me back to my room. But it got better fast and now I feel really good. I have even been out in the back yard and caught a bass! Good Luck to you.

Thank you for writing Kristen, I know the Drs' won't let us starve but it sure seems like they might be pushing to see how close they can get lol. Keep the end goal in mind always!! Hugs Robyn

Way to go Josie!!!! That is terrific. I can't wait to see some progress too.
