dont worry it will be here before you know it! from what i gather i was very lucky, (i'm sure it had ALOT to do with being self-pay) i saw my surgeon for consult on 7-10, nutritionist,& psyh on 7-16, pre-op w/ my gp on the 20th upper endoscopy on the 27th and my surgery on the 31st! it all happened SOOOO fast! like a whirlwind,glad its over (almost) i did have a hiatal hernial i'm hoping my insurance will partially cover hospital supplies or stay or SOMETHING...that would be soooo nice ...but highly unlikley

Hi everyone.. I had my lap band surgery yesterday and all in all I can't complain. I have the shoulder pain too but it's not horrible; just uncomfortable. My stomach feels sore like it's bruised and swollen as though you were punched.. but it's nothing that is holding me down.

I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia I just couldn't get going but once I did get up and move around I felt great.

I am so happy I did this!

Thanks for the support
