marialisa, sorry to hear you had lots of incisions. i was supposed to only have two plus a port. once doc was in there, i too was given more than anticipated. i got 5. i still have some pain at times, but lots of discomfort. the pain i totally underestimated. i have no saline in my realize band till the first of october. so i have no restriction. i am hungry. i ate real food this week for the first time and experienced "getting stuck" i was in pain for 7 hours!!! so,heed my warning and chew over and over again!! so glad to hear from you and don't worry about losing now, just heal. we have plenty of time and want the weight to come off at a good pace, so as to not have sagging skin!!! take it easy, hope your pain is under control. lisa6

hey kim!!! i want your recipe for the lemon ice too! my surgeon does have a support group, but i live about 2 hours from the hospital. it's bad enough to go there when i have to. but it is rated 3rd in our nation, so i have confidence in them! you got to eat some actual food, yeah! my husband has been very supportive about the actual decision as i really had to do this for medical reasons. i had a heart attack when i was only 34. it's been four years now and although i lost 55 lbs. after the attack, i couldn't keep it off. now, after the surgery, has been a different story. from the first night i was released from the hospital, i had to get up with the 2 yr.old each and every night. at the time, he had taken off 5 days of work to"help me". i wasn't happy. after day three, i told him if he didn't do more i was checking into a hotel so i could get some rest!!!!! so he shaped up! as for your hubby, i'm sure your knock his socks off!!! lisa6:lol:
