Laweezmi 0 Posted March 15, 2009 Hello all, Laura from W. Mich here. I was banded on Tues. and have had a progressively improving feeling of returning to my "old self." I ended up having two hernias repaired as well as the lap band. I am so glad the doctor went ahead with those two repairs because I don't know if I would want to go through the recovery period again. So I spent one night in the hospital and was well cared for there. Still and all, the worst day for me was day three. It does hurt, I need to tell you, and it took until today, day five, for me to feel like I'm getting back to normal. I have really no hunger. At this point I'm finding it hard to get enough Protein in. I meet with my doctor on Mon. for post-op and the nurse/dietician on Tues. I have been writing down my questions to keep track of them. I did weigh myself today and after the 2 and a half weeks of liquid diet, I've lost 12 lbs. That is inspiring! So good luck to all you Luck Losers who will go in this week. And how are you other earlier March Losers doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
