6 days post-op and I am curious about something. I was very swollen day 2 and could barely tolerate ice chips without getting foamies. By day 3 I was so much better and able to drink my juice the morning I was released, and continued the day taking b

Finally home. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts, I made it through uneventfully! I did not do well on ice chips or water, but got some low sodium chicken broth and it is like sipping on heaven. Time for a nap on my own bed now : )

When I went i

Band is out, but no sleeve - I had my LapBand removal yesterday morning. The Dr. said there was so much scar tissue and adhesions that he initially thought there would be no way I would be viable to have the...

Question for former LapBanders - My band has been empty for 4-5 years due to overfill and/or possible slip. Dr advised an unfill to see if it resolved itself. Once the fluid was out I was fine. No restriction t...

Time for a new chapter - Band issues in 2010 led to a total unfill. Refill and emergency unfill. I have remained unfilled since and have slowly ad steadily gained back every pound. I am having my band...

Protein powder? - I will start my pre-op soon and am wondering what Protein powder options are the best.

Banded in 05 - Banded in 2005. Worked great for years, got to weight and health goals. Alas, we are no longer good together and will soon be separated.
