Today is my first day home. I felt the same as you beforehand but it really went smoothly. I'm learning to sip my water better. Feels like we're going to drink nonstop!

I definitely wished I had practiced more beforehand. Will keep you close in prayer. You'll do great. Lisa in Ramona, CA

Lap Band on 08/04/06

Topic: RE: Are you Bypass or Band???

Just had the lap-band on Aug 4th. Doing great on it so far!! I wanted something that would be adjustable. Still on liquids, not hungry at all, have not been sick one time, have no pain from my incisions, but the gas trapped under my rib cage almost killed me the first day. I could not be happier.......have lost 15 pounds so far. I too was afraid of the bypass and I have a friend that lost 125 lbs with the band. Don't be afraid....just jump into a new life!!

Hi Sara, I had my surgery on June 1st of this year. RNY via lap. Take your time and do what the doctor's and nurses say. Drink your water slowly, get a pillow for your stomach and a binder. I had a toliet lift and that helped grately. When you are sleepy or tired REST!!!! Be Blessed, Pat

Lap RNY on 8-1-06 For me the issue WAS sweets. I knew I would eat around the band, so RNY was the best choice in my case. I know several people with the band and they love it and are doing great! Good luck!!

Kelly, I'll be thinking about you. Good luck with your week of protein shakes. I hope you don't find it too hard and stressful. Yep, this is the final countdown for you. Makes it seem that much more real when you have that last meal and begin the fluids! I wish you well. Betty
