Got mine today and feeling pretty good.

Need to go walk and get in some more fluids.

I had wanted the Lapband AP but surgeon had very good reasons for plaving this one - so I agreed.

More  when I am less tired.

Congrats! Gotta be a retarded echo and tell you to walk walk walk. That will be your saving grace throughout this process.

Congrats, Gracie Mae!  You will be feeling better in no time.  The first two weeks are the hardest, but the results are worth it.

I am on day 6 and I feel much better...I felt awful the first couple days...I wanted to go back and ask them to take it out...However, I didn't realize I felt so awful cause I was in pain (duh).
I used my pain meds and my discomfort was alleviated...Someone wrote and said you will see a world of difference after day 4...and they were right...I still know I had surgery...but I feel much more like myself...

Sleep, walk and sip...that's what I did for 3 days.

Good Luck!!!
