pink dahlia 2,513 Posted February 13, 2014 If this is any help, I honestly had more issues with root canal surgery than I did with the lap band surgery. Both times you're out, both times you have a recovery period, but honestly, the surgery and recovery from lap band was a breeze . Up and walking gently the evening after surgery, and just took it easy for 7 days , then went back to work, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddddddd.................. wait for it............. The weight started falling off ! Woohoo! 1-1.5 lbs a week! Down 62 lbs, 18 to go, and soooooooo worth it !!!!!!!! You can do this, !!! Good luck !! 1 joaniet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
911dispatcher 45 Posted February 13, 2014 Lap band surgery was not an elective surgery for me. I was literally killing myself with every mouthful of food. I was committing slow suicide. Lap band surgery was as necessary as gall bladder or appendix removal. Eventually, I would have died from obesity related diseases. Lap band surgery gave me the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Any surgery is obviously a risk, but I want to live a full life, and this was the way to do it. Seize this opportunity- you will be so glad you did. It's still hard work, but the results are worth it. 1 joaniet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
