Lapband Buddy

[Noneya14 4]

Hi everyone! I'm 24 years old and just had my surgery on Tuesday. I have a lot of questions, but little support in my area. It would be great to have a buddy to talk to that's my age. So far things are going well. I've lost 9 lbs since Tuesday. Is that safe? I was told 3lbs a week was normal. I don't want to over do it or get sick.

Hello 24 just had surgery 2/13 did great in the hospital but once i got home it was a whole new game, barely able to drink 3 cups of liquids, and the gas is just chillin in my body making me feel real achy and i have super dry mouth and some things just dont taste the same either.. Hoping in the next few days i feel a lot better gas wise

[SueBee01 630]

Get up and walk as much as you can. That will really help move the gas out. Keep drinking, all the time!

I am 24 and was banded 9/12/12. I lost 17 pounds in the first 10ish days, so you're completely normal. Just make sure you stay hydrated and drink your Protein shakes! Following doctor's orders is key to your success!

Hey girls! I'm 23 and just got banded on 3/12/13. I'm a week in and I've lost 10-ish pounds. I think losing -/+ 3 lbs is completely normal. I don't know about you but I had 2 weeks pre-op of fluids only and 2 weeks post-op of fluids. Its totally normal that you would lose more in this period than a normal week once you're eating regularly.
