OK, so it's getting closer! This coming Friday I will be DONE with this surgery. I'm so excited.:-D I am low risk. I have no diabetes, no high blood pressure, an excellent cardiac stress test results, and I'm 35.8 BMI. :cool: Anyone out there WHO WAS CONSIDERED LOW RISK AT THE TIME OF YOUR SURGERY, that has already been through this surgery that would like to contact me, please contact me here at OH. :idea: I WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU BEFORE MY SURGERY AND AFTER. THAT WOULD BE GREAT! I don't have an angel yet, but it would good to have that. My life holds so much for me now, I can't help but be excited PRAY FOR ME! Talk later Rebekah L. :fairy:

I am low risk but do have a higher BMI of 40. My surgery date is Feb 1. I will pray for your surgery please do the same for me!!!!

I was also low risk except for my BMI. That is why I wanted the surgery so I didn't get any of the co-morbidities! I had surgery Jan. 3rd and have done great. I am a nurse and went back to work yesterday without any difficulty. Today was good too! I am down 20# since surgery and 35 from my highest. It has been an absoluetly great experience (all liquids are hard but even that isn't that big of a deal anymore). I came home the same day (most people stay overnight in my hospital), have not had any nausea since the car ride home and am just so glad that I did this! Good luck with your surgery! Tina

Hello, I had lap band surgery 1/18. I was considered low risk but my bmi was 47 and I have high blood pressure.My surgery went great per my surgeon no problems at all. I had a problem today though. I had to call my surgeon, because I was having a problem with drinking my fluids It felt like really bad heart burn.When I explained to him what I had taken in today he said it was my blood pressure med which is a pretty big pill so he told me to sip on hot tea to try and dissolve the pill he thinks it has irrtated my throat and still may be stuck. I hope this goes away otherwise I will need to go in for ugi test. I will invest in a pill crusher.As soon As I get up tomorrow I don't want to experience this again.Anyway enough about me. I will pray for you and hope for speedy recovery.If you have any more questions feel free to email me. Teona
