Hi, I'm Getting Lap Band On 1/24/12 And Super Nervous!

[Yolie 6]

Also thank u for praying for me! I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

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

All went well yesterday... Just soar and resting today...

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!
