For Lap Band surgery, it is common for people to go home a few hours after the surgery. I arrived at the surgery center at 6:30, entered the operating room at 8:30 in the morning and was sent home around 11:30.

Many of us have stated we went home (or to a hotel in my case, as I was 3 hrs from home) hours after the outpatient procedure. I had a quick check up the next day and was driven home. Got out to walk around once during the ride

The apprehension was worse than the procedure for me!!

Yes. You should try and walk if you can. I had my band removed last week and the shoulder pain was worse than the incision pain! The only thing I could do to get relief was to to walk. I did not want to take my pain meds because I didn't want to get nauseas. Hope you are doing well!

Good. That you've been walking. I have different circumstances than you so you may not have any nausea with the pain meds. How are you today?

Honestly. Not too hot. I have serve reflux, and it's gotten worse since the band was taken out. I have to go back to the hospital for another upper GI, and they may have to dilate my stomach because of the scar tissue from where the band was.

      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.
