Newly Banded

jtcr3 · May 8, 2008

I finally had my lapband done on April 29th. I started the process in October of last year. It was done in Scottsbluff, Nebraska by Dr. Forney and Dr. Holloway. I expected it to be a month or so after I was finally appproved but they scheduled me 2 1/2 weeks later. I was a little stunned, happy and nervous all at the same time. This first week has been very interesting, but I am very happy I got it done.

Hi, David and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on getting your band and on your great start with the weightloss. You are off to an excellent start! I am still pre-op for another 3 weeks, so I can't answer your question about that icky feeling, but I do hope you get to feeling better soon!

I managed to make it home on Sunday. Rested yesterday and back to work today. Working seems to take my mind off how bad I feel. Still hurts more than I think it should but it is manageable. Lots of gas pains too. I am going to try and keep plugging away at work.
