I'm banded!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to thank you all for the well wishes! They worked!! I had my surgery 9/16 and feel pretty good today. I'm a bit sore but trying to stay away from the pain meds as they make me feel very groggy. I'm doing pretty good today without them. I lost about 15lbs the week of my clear liquid diet before surgery, I'm still on clear liquids until Monday when I can start full liquids...I can't wait to have yogurt!! Anyway, if anyone has any questions about the lap band process, I'd be happy to share my experience. Kim

Kim: I'm so happy (tho, not surprised) that everything went well. I had Tuesday off from work and thought about coming to the hospital to see you, but didn't know how you'd be feeling. Congratulations on your new start! Bette

Congrats Kim! I'm in the process of getting all of my consultations for Lap Band with Dr. Barba. Who did your surgery? I think this is the beginning of a great new chapter in your life. 15lbs in the first week is a terrific start! Make sure to let us all know how you're doing, being near the beginning of the process, I'd sure love to know how things are going. Take care! Meagan
