Four more days!! Im excited! I started my journey the minute I decided to have the surgery. I have lost a total of 42lbs in the past four months. This has nit been easy but its more than worth it. A little bit of sacrifice will pay off. Im hoping to be down 50 by Monday.letting go of old habits!!!!! Sent from my SPH-L710 using LapBandTalk

Im finishing day 5 pre op. I have been great all week. Tonight has been very hard. Its the weekend and I really am not feeling the mixture of broth with popsicles and jello . I still have not been able to drink six shakes. Ive only been able to drink 3 a day. I plan to go get a massage tomorrow to keep my mind off everything. I hope next week is better.

Im scheduled for January 21 start pre op. Monday! ! Im excited! !hello fellow bandsters!!!

Thanks! I been watching the posts getting advice. I'm ready for the journey!

hello everyone!!! I'm waiting for my date!! I'm excited and am working hard and staying committed to changing my life. I hope to inspire others,friends and family.hope everyone is doing well!!

I'm telling everyone!! I see this as a chance at taking back my life. If I can get a second chance I'm gonna tell others if my story can save one person I have done by job. People are not educated enough on lapband so they judge. So if I have to teach my story so others can understand ill be happy with that. We get more judgement from being obese. What more can they say?

I hope you get to talk to your husband. Sometimes men act like they understand and support us when deep down they don't. If he thought u were taking the easy way out he should have discussed his feelings with you before erring it don't and not in public. I never understood why anyone would want to keep it a secret. I'm waiting for my surgery date and I'm telling everyone. The only thing I asked my friends and family was that they let me tell people and don't gossip about it. We need to teach others that there is a way thru thus thing called morbid obesity! The people that judge have no idea how it feels to go to a doctor thinking you are fine and them telling you your obese. Take the surgery as a teaching tool while you are saving your own life you could also be helping someone else save their own. That should be enough to make you feel like this is more than an easy way out
