I got it done, went great, no pain so far. Feeling real good. Was in at about 1, and came home about 5.

Very happy and relieved. Best part insurance covered 100%.

Hi, I got banded too today. Home now. Well got Home at 8pm. They fixed my hernia also. Minimal pain. When I initially woke up omg, holy pain!! Took a few shots of pain meds to control it. Glad you both are doing well. So far I don't have gas pain either! Knock on wood!! I have been getting up and doing some walking. A tiny bit of discomfort in chest but nothing too bad. Can't believe I am on the other side!!

Ok I spoke too soon. Lots of gas pain. Bought baby simethicon drops, but not really helping. Very sore on port site. I dont know how much he put in my band, but can definately have more than 2cc of broth. Also anyone know uf a binder helps? FYI, I ordered nectar, its pretty good. Have only tried ice tea, but not too bad. How is everyone else?

Got lapband yesterday morning. I had so much pain! Now I have abdominal pain by the incisions. It's been easy sticking to the liquid diet so far. Hopefully I feel the same in a couple days.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
