Thank you so much for your post you really helped me! The shortness of breath has been freaking me out..but hearing you say the things you did makes me feel better..bless you!

I was banded on Monday and boy did I have a horrible week..I also had my gall bladder removed at the same time...today was the first day I started to feel better...I was able to lie on the bed for the first time last night. I had been sleeping sitting straight up...I am also very weak from not eating.starting to get a little depressed but on a positive not I have lost 15 pounds...hopefully things get better soon

Hey guys thank you all for your prayers...I am doing ok just very sore...I am a little hungry so I am munching on a sugar free popsicle! still in shock that I actually did this!

I am getting banded today! I am so nervous but I know God will take care of me! Please send prayers my way.

Trish you are in my prayers....my heart goes out to you...I am having the lap band on Monday...I was told that I was to heavy to conceive so I am praying losing weight will help me...just wanted you to know that your story has helped me..I am going to my husband about getting his sperm count checked...thank you for sharing and God bless you!

My surgery is April 11th....I wish I could be more excited but I am scared as crap!

These were amazing stories that truly inspired me...we have been trying to conceive for about 7 years...I have irregular periods....my periods stay on for 2 long...my Dr had me get on birth control and ordered me to lose weight in order to regulate my period. This worked for awhile but recently my period is out of wack again... I am praying for the same out come once I get the lap band! Thank you all for these encouraging stories.

I hope everything went great for you today...can't wait to hear from you!

Well that would be awesome news! I am going to ask if I have to have this done...thank you for responding

How bad is the pre-op blood work that you have to have done before the surgery? I have heard that the ABG Arterial Bood Gas is very painful. I am more scared of having this done than I am the actual surgery.. I know that sounds silly but I am afraid of needles!

Hi Shari- I to am just getting started on my lap band journey...I still can not believe I am going to go thru with it....This week I have all of Dr. appts, the nutrionist and the mental evaluation... I think getting the lap band is going to change my life! I goal is to lose the weight and finally be able to get pregnant...it is going to be some journey for me! hope to hear from you~ prell
