Had my lap band surgery yesterday, 7/27!!

I'm at home, I went home the same day. I had the Lap Band. So far everything is going great. I've been following the diet to the letter. I feel a little full and bloated, not hungry at all. Had some major pain at the port site at about 4:30 this morning, it was seriously about a 9 on the 10 scale.. but the pain medicine kicked in quickly. I've been walking around the house every thirty minutes as instructed except when I'm sleeping. Tomorrow I'm weaning myself off the pain medicine because it's Sat. tomorrow and I'm back to work on Monday! Having a bit of a dilemma as to how to keep up all the drinking and full liquids at work but I'm manage. No one at my work knows and I'd like to keep it that way. I have a great support system at home! I lost the 12 lbs they wanted me to lose to the ounce before the surgery. Only about 100 to go. Yippee! Now if I could figure out how to post a picture I would. Anyway, so far so good! I'll try to keep up the posting to let you all know my progress. Thanks! Andrea

Congrats!!!! Make sure that you do keep up on the liquids. I had to get Ivs twice because of dhydration. Welcome to the loosing side. Make sure you find a support group! they are well worth the time! Leann 8 ms Po rny 235/142/125
