Do you use the coconut oil in the shower or after?

Hoping they don't cancel mine. I am planning in being there at 7 am

Wednesday is fast approching, getting a little more nervouse each passing second....How is everyone else doing?

I too hope I am not all saggy down there, hopefully my husband wont notice...not sure how that will happy, hoping I am young enough for this not to happy, sure I will have belly flab and boob flab but hoping to loose this and get some nice perky girls in my future....46DDD I would love to be a C or D but firm for sure!

I start mine tomorrow, my surgery is scheduled for the 29th! We got this, just keep it up, hopefully we can have each other's backs, and we can do anything....its just 2 weeks then we will have our tools to help us continue!! Postive thoughts...

I am on the 29th...start preop diet tomorrow and getting more nervous every day!!

I am the 29th as well! Getting nervous start my preop diet tomorrow! Let's all stick together

The mentally and physically prepared is not the issue, my issue is the negative things I have heard about Lap Band....I have too have already had one surgery this year, had to have a hysto at age 29 my back kills me on most days and I am just tired of giving everything 100% and seeing little or no results. I was working out at the gym 7 days a week 2 hours a day, eating like a rabbit and still only got done 30 lbs. I am ready for a life change, I want to watch my children grow, I want to see their kids and I think I just need to go meet with the surgeon and roll with this. Thanks guys for the great advise, I am sure you will see me around here more...Missy

I do know lots of people that have done gastric bypass and say they would do it again in a heart beat....but my insurance only covers a certain amount, I would still be paying out of pocket for this for gastric it would be about 15,000 out of pocket, OUCH

Thanks and you sound just like me, I cry, have to have a cold wash rag the entire thing like I am a child. I have researched it and 1/2 of me tells me to go for it, and the other 1/2 is like look at all the negative, it just worries me and I am not sure I personally know enought people that have took this journey. Maybe I need to find a journey buddy to go through this process with.... Missy

I am trying to determine if Lap Band is right for me.....I do not like to or allow myself to throw up even if I am sick now, scared! Talked to several people and they have told me they lost weight but then gained almost all of it back, not sure if I want to go through this invasive procedure just to gain most of my weight back. Please help me if you have any comments or information you can provide. Thanks
