Hey ya'll I'm new to the forum. I'm Kim, I live in Califorina. My husband in the Air Force, we are originally form Tennessee.

I haven't got a lap band but I am planning on getting it or at least talkin to a doctor about it. I have pretty much decided that I want to. I was just wondering if its worth it all. How much pain is involved? Is there alot of vomiting? just anythng you could tell me from experience would help. Thanks

HI KIM, I WAS JUST BANDED ON 3/27/08, AND FOR ME MY PAIN IS VERY LITTLE. I HAVE 5 INCISIONS 4 ARE ABOUT 1/2 INCH LONG, AND THE OTHER ONE IS WHERE MY PORT IS AND IT IS ABOUT 1 1/2 INCH'S LONG. THE PORT ONE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS SENSITIVE. THE LIQUID DIET FOR 21 DAYS IS PROBABLY THE HARDEST PART.

Hey Kim,

I'm in so california, and lived in Clarksville, TN for 4 years!!

I was banded 2-22 it wasn't all that painful, just a little uncomfortable. I haven't vomited except, once when I didn't chew something well. I just got a fill and haven't started eating yet. so we will see. Everyone is different, food affects everyone different.
