:thumbup:It went great! While my surgeon has been doing the surgeries for years and has been performing gastric bypass at our hospital, I was the 5th Lap Band done at Tripler in Hawaii! I am so happy with my decision. I have to say that the third day afer surgery was the worst! I am pleased with the placement of my incisions and port. I am on a Clear liquids diet for two weeks, and then we go to full liquids...

What liquid suggestions do you have for clear and full?

I am excited. I have lost 14 lbs, but I had gained 5 with all of the fluids and gases.

What are your Water requirements from your surgerns the days after surgery? :thumbup: Also I get a tightening and pressure every now and then is that liquids going through or is it still some gas pressure. I had my surgery on the afternoon of September 4th.
