Any lapband users on here?

I will be having my lapband surgery in four days, and I'm hoping to find some motivation through people on here who've had it, as well. I don't know anyone who has had it, so I'm worried about getting through the first few weeks on my own and would love to add friends on here for encouragement!

    Hey, just wanted to say I had my lapband today. I've been home now resting with only mild pain/discomfort. I've also been sipping water constantly and have now realized I've only consumed 3 oz! This is tough.

    How were the first few days of bariatric surgery for you guys? Any tips?

    By the way, I'm 22 and my starting weight as of the surgery (today) is 270. I lost around 12 pounds in the pre-op diet.

    With liquids just keep sipping to stay hydrated

    My early days were spent in hospital so cant help there

    Take your time with meals and listen to your body

    I had the sleeve, but just wanted to wish you well! Keep sipping like it's your only job!

    @rou7e It looks like you're about 5 weeks out. How are you doing?
