Almost 6 wks. Post-Op

Wow how time flys. I can't beleive it is time for my first fill. The Lap- Band has been great so far. Way less pain than I thought. The Lap-Band is helping me to change my relationship with food. I was loosing weight. That only stopped b/c of my Breast lift/reduction. I had that surgery 5/27.I woke up 10 pounds hevier. People here have told me that is normal and usally goes awat after about 2 wks. I have los 6 pounds. This surgery has been sooo painful. I did not research this one as much as the

Don't take that last bite!!!

1 wk post op-It was my daughters last game. Some of us went out to dinner after. I was a little nervous. Afterall it was my first time off just liquids. Walking into the restraunt was kinda fun. It was my first time in a couple of months. I ordered mashed potato w/gravy. Everyones food came, it looked and smelled yummy. But I was so happy w/ my taters, that I really did not feel deprived. However I was felling full, but really had not eaten even half of my food. My mouth was still hungry, so I

Happy band-day to me.

Yes I woke up Thurs. and started singing happy band day to me. I was so excited, its here, its really here. MY SURGERY DAY!! I started talking a mile a minute to my husband. I jump up and get in the shower(still singing) I didn't even care that I couldn't have coffee. I was in the car ready to go in no time. You see, I am not a morning person. It takes me 30 min to get out of bed after waking up, and I really don't like any conversation until my 3rd cup of coffee. I am late to everything. In Feb

Emotions????

Emotions???? I don't know if I can put into words how I feel, but here goes. Surgery tomorrow. Woke up feeling very sad, and tierd. This confused me. I should be excited. Now whats wrong me. Maybe I am crazy. Well I guess I can try to explore these feelings since I can no longer turn to my best friend (FOOD). Well I am a little nervous about the pain after surgery. I have Fibromyalgia, so Doctor said pain is worse for us, and recovery usually twice as long. I have given birth to 5 children, 4

2 day until I'm Banded, Hopefully

Pre-op diet sucks, but it works! I am down 14 pounds and can feel my ribs again. Laying down of course, but hay it's progress. I have been sick, and today I woke up feeling worse. This makes me vervous as I read a post about someone having to postpone surgery b/c of being sick. I am really excited to get this going! The last 2 days I have been kinda sad. I found out I did not have the support I thought I had. My middle son brought over a cheesecake from Kings Hawaian. He has never done this bef

6 days until surgery.

6 days until surgery. I'm just trying to survive pre-op diet. I am very hungry, tired, headache, sore throat, chest congestion, and sinus hurt. Yep I am sick! A little stressed about being to sick for the opperation. I told my husband, I would just die if they postponed my surgery. He said to look on the bright side there would be no need for surgery if I am dead. Yea he thinks he is a comedian. Anyways, I am in good spirits, and still feel very blessed to be able to have this surgery paid for b

LAP-BAND? date 4/29 What a shock!!!!

LAP-BAND® date 4/29 What a shock!!!!   My consolation was early January. All test were done by Early February. I went in for My gallbladder removal Feb. 22ND. I was told that day I was approved for LAP-BAND®®. I was shocked. I asked her if she was sure. She repeated herself and told me I could schedule surgery for 6 wks. I was so excited. Turned out she was wrong:cursing:. I was no where near surgery. I had to do 6 month pre op diet before paperwork could even be submitted. I was so fru
