Hi all!

My name is Jen and I am in the process of getting the lapband surgery. I am just starting this journey and would love any advice that you have for me! I just decided to go this route rather than the gastric bypass surgery and am really looking for lots of info on how life after surgery is, ya know just the day to day kind of stuff.

Thanks!!!

your new friend!

Hi Jen,

You and I are starting this journey together. My surgery is scheduled for the 27th (next Thursday) and I am very excited and nervous all rolled together. I know this is going to be a wonderful experience and I am ready for the challenges coming my way. I would love to keep in touch with you as we begin this life changing process together.:blink::thumbup::mellow:

      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.
