Yolie, you are in my prayers. It really is a simple surgery, and like Corianna the 8th is my birthday also. So nothing bad could possibly happen.

It's a minor procedure. just make sure to walk around while in the hospital as much as you can. You will be in some pain while in the hospital but should be fine a day or two after you return home to where you won't need the pain meds they send you home with. After you eat, walk around your house. You will literally feel the gas bubbles moving about your body trying to escape. Other then that, you'll be off to the races with the weight loss. You will loss the majority of your weight the first two weeks so enjoy!

i was just banded mid dec, and honestly it was a breeze. ive had more trouble and discomfort with a dental appt. i was at the hosp at 5;45 am, rolled into the operating room at 8, and the next thing i know the nurse woke me up at 9;30 and said youre done !! i left the hospital at 11am feeling a little tired but fine otherwise.(put a waterbottle and some lifesavers in the car for the ride home-i had the worst cottonmouth all day !!!!) i rested on the couch for 2 days and by the 3rd day i was so bored i went and did some lite xmas shopping. other than the left side feeling like a bad pulled muscle for 10 days, it was all so easy ! lost 14 lbs total so far. you'll do fine! good luck to you, and see you on the other side !!

I was just thinking that ! having my wisdom teeth out was worse than having lapband surgery.. good luck to all of you having it done soon :)

I, too, had my Lap Band surgery yesterday. I was in and out in 6 hours. My port incision hurts like the devil and I feel full of gas, but otherwise doing much better today. I hope that the others that had surgery yesterday are doing well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping to feel good enough to catch up on my blogging tomorrow. I just set up a weight loss ticker on My Fitness Pal so I can start tracking the loss. Take care new friends!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
