had my lapband surgery on April 10th, 2008!

My surgery started at 7:10am and I was up walking around as soon as they brought me up to my room! Had to stay over night because my insurance said so. On Friday morning I started my liquids. 1 oz every 15 minutes. They gave me a cute lil timer. Got released at 5pm on Friday. It's Saturday and I'm still doing my 1 oz. every 15 minutes! I even ran to Cub and had my timer going and my water bottle! I'm feeling great and no pain meds for me! The incisions are a little sore, but not bad. I decided to do this so I'm not gonna whine! My husband goes in on April 21st for gastric bypass so we'll be doing this new lifestyle change together! I started the process on my birthday in October. November 7, 2007 is when the ball got rolling! I joined LA Weightloss to help get me started losing some pounds to get ready for surgery. Well, the day of my surgery I was down 55 pounds!! Now I'm ready to get the rest off with my new tool! I'm happy I got my Lapband! -Dawn

Awesome! Thats cool that you guys will be doing it together, too My date is April 25th, so I am always interested in how other people did/are doing.
