So I just got home, I'm officially banded and in PAIN!i honestly didnt think it was going to be this bad...and I'm thirsty and hungry I just want a ice cold sugar free Italian ice! And my Doberman who sleeps in bed with me is crying at my bedroom door, because she can't sleep with me, I feel so bad... Please tell me this gets better!

Hey all I'm also tomorrow! Have to be at the hospital at 9! Good. Luck everyone!

Thanks guys ill keep everyone posted! Goodnight all!

I also have bcbs they are great! It will be a breeze!

Well hospital just called, I have to be there at 9! The biggest thing that's Gona kill me is no coffee in the morning! Lol

This is why I love each and every one of you guys! Thank u all!

Steph, congrats... I'm happy it went so well! Today is going to be a long agonizing day for me... Besides thinking about surgery tomorrow, I also can not take my subutex which is very hard! I will be in a very grumpy mood lol but it will all be worth it! Keep in touch! And feel better!

Thanks guys... After this is all done ill have some time to think about everything... I know my heart wants him to change but my head always knew he wouldn't... He's 28 years old and still acts like he's an 18 yr old boy... It just gets me so mad that he knew how importent this is for me, and could care less... God forbid something happens... That's on his conciounse...or how ever u spell it lol

Thank you guys for putting it into perspective for me... He has his priorities all wrong, and for the 5 years we've been together they always have been wrong, before he proposed to me I broke up with him n we didn't see each other for 6 months... I guess realizing how good I was to him how'd I'd do anything for him n the grass isn't greener on the other side he told me he changed.... Promised me he'd start working promised me partying didnt mean anything to him anymore, his friends that were all shitty friends ment nothing, it was suppose to be just about me and him.. N then he proposed.... And was great for a few months... Then everything went to back to being all about him again... And I keep giving him chances n chances and I guess he really doesn't care... He just puts me down... I guess your all right if he really loved me he'd be there for me... I guess I was that stupid to believe him... But I kno I have u guys and my moms Gona come with me and of course she's Gona say oh why isn't Danny here???? And then I'll get the I told u so... I'm just sad becuz someone I love so much maybe just doesn't love me as much

My fiancée always puts everything ahead if my so i asked 3 weeks ago, u promise you'll be there in recovery waiting and he promised he would... As many other promises he broke, and now 2 days b4 surgery guess what...he can't make it...his excuse is he had no ride there... I told him d pick him up wendsday he could stay over and then Thursday was my appointment...he canceled his pt today becuz he was hung our and now Thursday at 630 is pt again... He can cancel it becuz he's hungover but not because his fiancée is in majors surgery...his answer was well u chose to do this...I just want him there with me... He's Gona be my husband but can't come... In sad mad wanting to kill him I hate him that he puts everything first...- and he promised he'd come n now won't... Wtf...

Hey steph, how are you doing?! How was the surgery? Mine is set for this Thursday! 2 more days!!!!

It def depends on your insurance... Which do u have? I believe my consult was in march, I did my psych, nutritionist, and pulmonoligist and also an upper gi, then went back to my surgeon they booked my surgery for may 30th and then submitted to my insurance the Monday after Mother's Day, and by that Friday I was approved! So my surgery is this Thursday! 2 months felt like forever especially guessing if your ins will cover it, and thinking the what ifs... But just be patient and don't stress, I did and I drive myself crazy for 2 months lol

Steph, you will do great! I can not believe this week is here already! It flew by... When times get tough remember we CAN do this!! No negative thoughts.... And as for the actual surgery think of it as a really good nap! Prolly the best one you'll ever have! I will see u on the other side in a few days! Well the banded side! Lol what's the Chapstick for? I didn't even think about getting that...

Ya only liquids for me post op too... He did tell me tho that id probably be off liquids sooner then other patients becuz I'm at the very low end of even being approved becuz my bmi is at exactly 35... But who knows, everyone is different! My surgery is Thursday, can not wait! It seems the closer it gets the slower the days go by!

Congrats! The weeks will fly by trust me!

Def only positive changes! I'm in nj... Keep me posted! Well be on the other side in a week!

I know, the 30th! How excited are u?! I feel like this week is going by pretty quick... And on Monday at my pre op I had lost 10lbs since my last appt! Which I was happy about.. He didnt give me a pre op diet although I thought he was going to... I guess I'm on the low end my bmi just made it at 35 so I guess that may be why... What area are you from?

I really can't wait for this! Since I've gained all this weight my sex life became almost non existent which is killing my fiancée! Sex here I come!

Wow I'd be in shock! They have to repeat that about 10 times for me to grasp it! God works in funny ways! Good luck with the little one and the banding afterwards! U got next Thursday, I don't think in pregnant! Lol

I went for my pre op yesterday, I had already gone for my lab work a week b4 that, yesterday they read me all the risks of the surgery went over everything, basically had to sign my life away lol and that was about it... Just have to go for an EKG tomorrow n then surgery is next Thursday!

Steph, you'll do great! Like everyone else said we've come so far, prepared our minds for this huge change and one week to change the rest of our lives will be worth it! Don't give up and never say u can't do it, becuz you CAN! I go for my pre op today so I'll find out what I have to do and my surgery is next Thursday! It will be all worth it in the end... And if you ever need someone I'm here! We have this life changing opportunity that many ppl don't... And keep busy! Time will fly!

I'm praying this doesn't happen to me, I'm on methotrexate (chemo) for severe arthritis... I use to have the most beautiful curly thick hair... And now it's flat and just falls out already, I don't need anymore coming out! That's one thing I never thought of... And I'm only 28:(

Congrats! That is def one of my main goals... I'm on so many meds for my blood pressure.. 3 to be exact, just for that... Then my meds for my pcos, then my arthritis medication which includes my iv infusion, methotrexate, plaquinel... I currently take maybe 12 pills a day and I'm only 28! Hoping to atleast get down to maybe 6... Or all If them would be awesome! But congrats to you! Never give up on something u want so badly!

I'm may 30th! Excited and nervous all in one but can't wait!

Mama, your so there I can taste it! I had my paych eval, pulmonoligist clearance 2 years weight history, something saying I was registered at a gym or weight watchers of something along those lines for a yea, I did a swollow study, a letter from my pcp.,,hmmm I think that may be it... I was lucky thank god!
