openag-my ps estimated that he removed 8lbs during the surgery. I have really been watching what I'm eating and I was able to start walking at 2 1/2 weeks post op. I can't lift weights, run, or work out on my elliptical trainer until 6 weeks. I started off walking 3-4 miles per day and now I'm up to 7-8 miles. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've heard that having these big surgeries speeds up the metabolism. When are you having your surgery?

I'm scheduled for an abdominoplasty and breast reduction on June 9th. I have my final consult on Friday.

Thanks everyone. I posted a 4 week picture today and I can't believe the difference. The incisions are fading a little bit now and the swelling is going down. If you look close in the 4 week pic you can see my lap band port sticking out like a sore thumb. I really wish I would have gotten the low profile port, but it didn't work out. I may consider getting it done at a later date. I just hate to get cut open again!

Wow - four week pic is fabulous! It gives me hope because I'm two weeks behind you.

Congratulations!

I love my band!
