Ebony, I believe the one long incision is the Open method, which would definately be a longer and more difficult recovery and healing period. This is one of the advantages of the Lap Band. It can be done Laporoscopically (sp?) which is pretty minimally invasive.

Also, mine was done laporoscopically and I have 5 incision places. See the Scar Stages thread. It's a sticky, let me know if you can't find it. You will find it interesting. Keep researching! You need to learn all you can by next week!!!

I was sore and very very tired. Moved slow. The pain was fine. Certainly better than my 2 C-sects, but what got me the most was the fatigue from the lack of calories. I had a slower recovery. It was almost 2 weeks before I felt like I was really on the mend. Don't be scared, it isn't bad.

How much weight are you wanting to lose? What part of this globe are you from?

For me I had minimal pain and only took liquid tylenol and I have a very low threshold for pain. I was amazed at how good I felt the day after surgery, so good in fact that I took a cab to downtown TJ for some shopping and walking. Walking is key to help rid the gas which ill relieve the pain, alot of the pain was from gas..so walk as soon as you can, I walked the halls constantly immediately following surgery. I made my husband get me up and walk every hour

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
