Hi I am newly banded as well. surgery was 9/16. still adjusting emotionally to all of this. the food is not bothering me much. Im hypervigilent I think about every unusual ache or pain. I am using the gasx strips and they are great. liquid tylenol too. I save the dvarvocet for bed time and I only take half. I have a 10yr old son. Stay in touch.

Good morning to all from NC. I am new to the site. I received my Lap Band Thurs 9/16/10. Its been a journey not knowing what to feel or expect. Been alot of gas and discomfort. But suprising to me I had a little emotional melt down where I wanted the band out night of surgery. I felt weird but was okay after given something for nausea and pain. Looking for friends to correspond with. I feel like im on an island right now. The support I had prior has wained. I think my parents are upset with me they didnt want me to do it- go figure when all of the adult women in immediate family are obese and have multiple helath problems. Anyway, Im back at work today and we shall see how it goes:unsure:

Cool. During 6 mos program with surgeon I lost 34 lbs pre op. Won't be weighed again till 2 wk follow up. Would like to get to know you and what kinda work u do. Definitely need pointers since your almost year out

Banded on 9/16/10

I live 2 hrs away in Onslow county but still want a buddy to. Chat with. 2 days post op

New to group. Surgery on 9/16. Had horrible night. Doc went through belly button for 1 of 5 incisions. Others feel ok but navel area hurt so so bad. Any suggestions outside of pain meds that anyone uses? He used glue stitches which look good

Thanks. I am newly banded on day 2 post op and was looking at having it removed cause I was uncomfortable
