Lapband recovery...

OK, so I am now on the 4th day after surgery and finally feel half way decent. My issue with this surgery was not pain at the surgical sites but the gas left in my abdomen that gave me shoulder pain right from the recovery room. It was nerve pain I guess radiating from the pressure on the diaphram, but regardless knocked me for a loop. The pain meds didn't help with that pain but did help me sleep some. This morning I am much better and although I still have some shoulder pain I believe the worst is gone. I have no idea if I have lost anymore during this becasue I have had zero exercise but I have taken in my shakes and liquids daily. I am usually one who has to exercise to lose. SO I go back to the doc on Wed. and we'll see. I think right now the band is not tight. My shakes go down easily and I do not feel like it is tight. I will begin getting the band tightened in a few weeks and from there hope to begin the true weightloss. Thank heaven for Nana and Poppy who have been here to help us get the kids back and fourth to school and daycare. Nana has been busy making meals and making sure that everyone is fed, bathed and to bed on time. Stay tuned...

Hi, I was wondering where you had your procedure done? Do you know what kind of band they put in you? How much did it cost? I am researching my options... thank you! If you don't want to post here, you can email me at niki (at) nikispence.com thanks again.
