I had my surgery July 2nd and I can now say that I'm very happy with my decision. I have to admit that for the first week and a half I asked myself, "What the hell did I do"? But as of night 10 post-op, I was finally able to get some sleep (was able to sleep on my sides and tummy). When you are getting your correct amount of sleep, you can think clearer. I've been on the liquid diet for 1 week pre-op and still 2 weeks post-op and that can make you a bit nuts but I just keep on thinking that it's not forever and real food is just a few days away. The nice thing also is to see those numbers go down on the scale. Since I started the 1 week liquid pre=op diiet, I've lost 21 pounds (that's in 2 1/2 weeks). THAT is what it's all about and I'm so happy I have my LAP-BAND®!
