SURGERY DATE WAS: 4-17.

I had by lap band surgery on 4-17.  I did liquids only for two weeks previously and am down approximately 25-27 lbs.  Will know a little better as to the loss once I get on that digital scale at my 1st post-op appointment next week.  I'm hoping that once the swelling is completely gone, I will be able to see that loss even better.  I gain last in my face and upper chest and that is where you can tell right now. I am feeling pretty good and just started creamed soup and mashed potatoes.  Whoever thought a 1/4 cup of food would fill you up!!  I am looking forward to my first fill but know I have to wait. I am still having pain (nothing severe) when trying to bend over or lay on my side, but it is getter better.

Congrats.  Awesome job.  The weight loss will slow down so keep that in mind.  Welcome to the board and congrats.  Keith is getting his lap band today!

Thanks! I know the loss will slow down.  I'm setting my sights for 6 months from now when I think I will see more results.   I'm sure Keith will do well!
