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!!!

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!

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!!!

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!

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!
