Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this journey. I had my lap band done yesterday 6-25-12. I'm actually experiencing more post op pain then I expected, but I'm trying to stay positive. I had my surgery with Dr Kim Marley in Windber PA. A little bit about me: I'm married with two little girls and I'm currently a nursing student. I look forward to learning from everyone here.

Hi jemama I was banded on the 25/6 as well but in Australia. I have been having quite a bit of pain as well but mostly in my shoulder. I'm finding that my heat pack is helping a great deal with this and have had it on almost constantly. With my abdo pain I was discharged with panadeine forte (don't know if you call it the same over there) which has been helping alot. Can't take too much thought as it can cause Constipation which is not the best scenario. Hopefully you will feel better soon and good luck...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
