Hi all -

My name is Christie and I had lap band surgery on 12-18-08 - so far I have lost almost 20 lbs. It is nice to be on this website with folks that are anticipating having it done and folks who have had it done - this is great support I think. I love my lapband and I would do it again and again!

Good for you ! I was just banded March 2nd and I hope I can have the same success. I see the Dr. tomorrow for my follow up so I'm excited to see if I have lost any weight.

Good on you both!!! How are you finding it? I imagine it would be a bit overwhelming! What was going under like?

So far so good for me. I follow up with the Dr. today. Going under for me was ok, they just gave me something in my IV and I woke up when it was all done. My throat was irritated from the tube and I wasn't allowed to drink anything till the next day, but it was ok.
