Cait

This is my first night at home, and I am having a little trouble. I am wearing the girdle, and I am a little short of breath. But only if I sit a certain way.

I am on a liquid/jello diet, and I am having trouble determining when I am full because I am still trying to get the anesthesia out of my body so I'm dizzy. I am taking it slow though, so I haven't thrown up.

Also, I am a side sleeper and I cannot lay on my side due to the surgery and can't seem to get comfortable.

I just need some tips, words of encouragement and I want to know the pain will end!!!

Haha! Thats funny and it's tomorrow at 3:15. I'm really nervous and I wish my husband was going with me!

How are you healing up? Any complications? I haven't been banded yet and I am loving reading all of these stories!

What questions did you ask on your first appointment? I haven't had the surgery, but I was wondering if there are any key points I should hit. I have a few in mind regard recovery, pre-op diet and a timeline.

I am really nervous!!!

I'm meeting mine in a little over a week too and I am feeling the same way! I just wish I could see into the future to know how it'll change my life! But I'm definitely hoping that he is a good doctor. Good luck to you!

Looking for someone that can support me and I can support them throughout this journey! There are a few people that have cruel things to say about my decision to get Lap-Band! I am just looking for someone I can swap stories with, vent to, swap recipes or exercise regimens.

I live in Abilene! I'm going to be banded soon!

I have my first appointment on June 7th and I am going to (hopefully) be getting the surgery before my husband goes overseas at the end of the year. I'm ready to be happy and healthy and make friends!
