I'm August 26th for Lap Band!
Now that my surgery is a reality, I just keep looking at those before and after pictures and realize in even more than ever how slender all those wonderful people look. And soon we'll be one of them!
Good luck, Kelli!

Hello August Beeeechez!~
I had Lap RNY on the 11th. Let me tell you, the first day is a ******! Hurts bad. But the pain meds you get are great. And I swear this is true...EVERY TIME YOU WALK, YOU FEEL BETTER. About every 2 hours I would hit that magic pain med button and then get up and go to the bathroom. Every time I went to the bathroom, I lapped the corridor. After about 5 or 6 laps the pain in my chest (gas) was almost gone. After my walk I would go back to bed and hit the pain button again and go back to sleep.
What can I say? I am allergic to pain. It makes me break out in whining! LOL
The only time I felt nauseous was when I tried the liquid painkillers. My Doc said I could have pills instead.
I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because my oxygen levels kept dipping. I am home now, on portable oxygen. They seem to think I will only need it a few more days. We'll see. :)
One thing of import to note...I am not hungry at all. For the first time in my life....I AM NOT HUNGRY. It's a pretty amazing feeling having to make myself drink my shakes and such. If my relationship with food stays this way I should have no problem meeting my goal weight.
I protein shake salute you!~
