    Sorry, but I have to say this...

    Well I haven't seen one yet.... I find it sort of amusing as to why any one would want to but Que sera sera. If it helps them to lose wt by visual motivations who am I to question. to each his or her own. I find them sort of ugly and wish they would go away! Carmen

    Lap Band Surgery Day Stories

    Carmen From Milwaukee WI 55 years. wt 251 02/25/2009 height 5'4 1/2 " BMI 42 All in all my surgery went fairly smooth the staff members were exceptional. I found out that morning pre - surgery that I would have to have my gall bladder removed. I had on board a cardiac team as I have a pacemaker and continually have arrhythmia problems. This will require an ablation procedure. However not today. post surgery went well, I was very groggy and in some pain. The end result of the surgery is besides the lap band I had a hyatal hernia repaired and gall bladder removal. The anesthesia part of the surgery indicated there were concerns about my heart so extra care was taken to make sure I was doing well. I stayed for three days which is longer than usual. Getting up and moving around was hard. I did manage though. I do not have an appetite so I force my self to eat the little bit that is offered. my blood sugar was high so I needed to take insulin. All in a days work. your body is trying to readjust to the trauma that it was put through. All in all the team from Dr. Chua's staff was exceptional and very caring. I am happy to say it is over with now the healing begins. I have stared a journal. and will be happy to share it with every one when I have finally reached my goal. "Quality health" Carmenmarie53
