If the feeling of my internal organs falling out weren't enough, I get my period! Great! I am miserable in ways you could not imagine.
Hoping the days to come are better!

I thought I'd be feeling so much better by now! I feel like a punching bag! I have been walking but suffer from nausea and dizziness.

My date is quickly approaching and instead of being excited I am scared sh*tless! And what does analytical, detailed oriented person like me do when they are scared? Well, I consume more and more information on the topic. I am obsessed. It does not matter that I have read all literature and research about the procedure, risks, options, you name it. I have to understand what 'real' people who had made this choice are going through, feeling thinking. Stalking forums and discussion boards looking for more and more data..I'm consumed. I know everything about this procedure and the product. You see, I work in the biological/medical devices field for years. I have colleagues that are employed at Allergan, the company that manufactures, the Lap Band. So after being on the other side of the bench for years, I will be a patient this time. It is a totally different feeling
I thought just like the rest of the folks here, I might find some comfort-kinship, by chronicling what I am feeling. My surgery is 02/22/11 and I have completed my first week of the pre-opt diet. I am following the diet prescribed the best dietitian ever. Today I have blood work done and am scheduled to have cardiac and pulmonary clearance next week. I did not have a difficult approval process, nor did I have some of the other issues I have read about on the forum. It has been straightforward but quite a bit to excuse my pun-digest! lol
Geesh! It's alot to do. Not only am I obessed and consumed, I am OVERWHELMED! Thoughts???? Words of comfort? Wisdom?
