Dark Ranger 12 Posted January 14, 2013 Yes definitely. Its so hard I've always been so independent and being a single mom kinda puts u in the rapid healing mode. Lol. Yeah, moms are not allowed to get sick or slow down for any reason. The earth would absolutey stand still! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Ranger 12 Posted January 14, 2013 How long were you in hospital? Not sure who you were asking, but I'll answer anyway. I was in the hospital for two days - surgery on a Thursday and went home Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Ranger 12 Posted January 14, 2013 I was in the hospital 1 day. Had surgery at 8am on Thursday and was out by Friday at 4pm That was a quick turn-around. I'm glad the program I went through plans for two nights. I don't think I would have been anywhere near ready after just one day. How long was your surgery?

Dark Ranger 12 Posted January 14, 2013 He would have kept me if need be but I wasn't feeling bad at all. My surgery lasted 2 hrs That's cool. Mine was supposed to be about 2 hours and 15 minutes. It ended up lasting a little over 4 hours. The surgeon had trouble with scars from the lapband he had to take out. I was kind of in sucks-to-be-me-ville for a while. I'm glad that's over with.

Dark Ranger 12 Posted January 14, 2013 Oh. WOW! How long did u have the lap band? For almost five years. I actually had two of them. I had an erosion with the first and it had to be removed less than a year after it was put in and then the second one I had to have a port revision after 2 years and then it slipped and it had to be removed. So, I opted to get the sleeve when they removed the band. I'd have to say I did not have very good luck with lapband. While it was working it was good, but I guess that wan't meant to be for me in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
