Yes... Its called the last meal syndrome of something ....I did it I tried to eat everything I could (lol) But the closer I got to my date the more serious I took this life changing event... Just keep the faith.. And don't beat yourself up to bad. The pre surgery 2 week will be all you need to ready yourself Plus the Holidays just passed We all failed diets that nothing new for a fat person(lol) But there is a silver lining at the end of the tunnel... We will do it together............You will be fine starting tomorrow(lol).......

I have arthritis in both knees and my spine. That along with 347 lbs made life miserable I was taking Ibuprofen 800 mgs 2X a day plus tramadol and still had pain. I was banded Jan 5th, 2011. I stopped taking my Ibuprofen 8 days before the surgery but continued to take Tramadol I am doing fine. If I don't have to I will discontinie taking my Ibuprofen..... My weight is down to 328 and I feel better already. I was able to wash my dishes without sitting down and taking a break. So I don't if the Ibuprohen was helping or hurting..... I FEEL I MADE THE BEST DECISION HAVING LAPBAND...... Knees are stiff but I just keep walking No Pain No gain............ I want to be pill free by this time next year..... Talk to your doctor......

My surgery was Jan. 5th and all is well but this GAS in my chest ... It hurts so bad What do I do It comes and goes......IT IS BAD .......PLEASE HELP

Getting ready for bed I hope I can sleep...I was just wondering How are you doing ? TTy after my surgery....Pray for Me..........[tyquote name=ChopswyfT' timestamp='1293818547' post='1552670] I'm right here with you Stepanie55. I get banded on Tues, Jan 4th. I am also on my pre-op liquid diet right now. So, far I am doing pretty good with it. It's strange becuase I have felt a rush of strange feelings and thoughts lately about my weight and HOW IN THE WORLD DID I GET HERE (morbidly obese)?

I WAS WANDERING HOW THIS ALL HAPPEN THE MORBID OBESE AND ALL ....WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY PROBLEMS NOW I GUESS ITS TIME TO LET GO AND LET GOD..... WE EAT FOR DIFFERT REASONS .....BUT ITS KILLING US MORE THAN THE PROBLEMS.................NOTHING TO HARD FOR GOD.........................

that's good your not hungry... But we never ate because we was hungry ...Well most of the time I tried to eat my problem away...That what scares me... Now I must learn to deal with my problem differently ............Lets get smarter.......PRAY..........

I will be banded January 5th. I am ready. Although there are mixed emotions. I do know I tired of being fat, not able to walk or stand for a long period of time. My legs hurt/my back hurts.Dr Oz said being morbid obese is like having cancer. And I understand what he means . I am on a liquid diet and its going well. Keeping myself busy has helped.

You go Girl.... Take control of your life and feel better. My sister had the lapband and she doing great. I will have my surgery January 5th I have mixed emotions..I have never been a normal weight....Just go with the flow crying is good sometimes....
