I'm new to the site and just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm having my lap band surgery tomorrow - pretty nervous. :thumbup: Anyway, I'm glad I found this site - it will be nice to have people to talk to who are going through the same experience as me. :smile2:

Thank you as soon as you are able, please let me know how everything went. The meeting was really reassuring today, the nurses were really informative, supportive and helpful.

Good Luck Tomorrow! I was on here yesterday for a while just reading - and followed up with my insurance co today - and found out that I just got approved for surgery (not gonna happen till end of August). I know you'll do great! Let us know how things go!

Iris, good luck tomorrow. You'll do great and it will all be worth it.

Linua, thanks for your advise about pets. I've been keeping them at bay.

And CampingQueen, congrats on getting approved!

My surgery was not bad at all, especially after the initial sedative. I was as high as a kite after that. My lungs are feeling a bit compressed since there's less room around them, but other than that, things are going well. The pain's pretty much gone already and I'm already seeing a change in my sides, my arms and under my chin. I was surprised at how soon these changes became evident, but I am so pleased!

Keep me posted on how you're all getting along. :P

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
