ggb64 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Hi there, New. Surgery was 3/7/08. today was my first post-op visit. All went well. I am even allowed to have some food now. Had cottage cheese and cannot believe how full I am. This was a hard decision for anyone to make but I do not regret it. Gg:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ggb64 0 Posted March 19, 2008 No problems whatsoever. My timing would have been quicker but I had to wait for college to break. I am not unhappy at all. this has been the best thing I could have done. what a great tool for weight loss. My first postop was yesterday and I was down 15 from surgery date and 22 in all. yes. i was on optisource until yesterday. Can have cottage cheese, yogurt, Peanut Butter and eggs/egg substitute now. very happy :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beachbum0519 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Hey Y'all! I'm from Greensboro, NC. I had my surgery on Feb. 12th. I go for my first fill next week and I can't wait! I was surprised at how quickly my stomach swelling went down and I was able to eat just about anything without too much trouble (although I can't eat as much as I normally would). But I'm ready for my first fill so that I can start losing weight. Unfortunately, I'm one of the ones that hasn't lost any weight since the surgery:cursing::biggrin: Welcome to LAPBAND.COM!!!! We do have a NC forum if y'all want to join us there.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
