Hey Junsters, now that we're all done (besides 3 happening tomorrow)...
I had my Lap RNY on 6/11. When I went to the Dr. for my 1 week check up, I was down 20 lbs!!! Since then I am down another 8 lbs. I see him again on 7/11 for my 1 month post-op. I don't plan on weighing myself again until then. I want it to be a surprise!!! (corney, I know)

Had lap band surgery on 6/19 and haven't really weighed myself. I have to been on clear liquids for two weeks ( three more days to go ) and I believe this has put my body in starvation mode so when I start eating I will gain weight and that will depress me. So I decided to wait on the weighing. However, I lost 12lbs with the pre-op diet. Besides dying for some "real" food I'm doing great and look forword to being a loser in the future!
I had my lap band done on 6/25. On surgery day I was down 13 pounds from the start of this journey. I refuse to weigh myself, so I won't know how much this first wee****il this Monday.
I'm still having quite a bit of pain, 6 or 7 out of 10. But then I had a huge(my drs description) hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. He had to detach my entire stomach in order to fix the hernia.
