Can someone, anyone tell me what they think head hunger is??? All I know is that mine is in my "stomach" 4 days post op. Thanks fam

Reading this I'm not sure. I feel like I'm having hunger pain that go to my back. I wake up in the middle if the night. So now I'm grabbing naps when I feel satisfied. If I'm sucking or drinking something, I'm okay. But I will say I'm annoying. Like can I go to stage 2 if this is what it is???(I was sleeved 8/20) I have dreams if eating really good food. This is soooo torturous!!!! Help...any guidance out there???

I just got the call my 8/20 surgery has been approved. I was getting a little scared because I hadn't heard from my doctors office. My psychologist visit held up the paperwork. I told them I had to get my paperwork in and then they decide to go on vacation before turning in paperwork in to the doctors office. All is well now just two days before my officially sleeve and on the losers bench I'm very excited and very happy. To God be all the glory!

I can't wait...August 20th

I think I'm beginning to realize that with having VSG surgery, most of my stomach will be GONE FOREVER! This choice is seriously permanent, and I'm trying fathom this. This a God given major organ that I'm going to have removed. Did anybody else feel this way? How did you rationalize this? Help folk! (From what I've read here and spoken to others they're pretty happy with their choice).

LMBO!!!!! Yes that's bible, and I got it. You may not be "religious" but The Lord just used you! Hahahahaha! That's one way to look at it! :-)

I agree with this. I guess it's also because I'm a former bandster (removed 4/30), and that was removable. I have to get off the band mindset and get on this sleeved train :-)

You guys both bring up good points. I need views like this so I can internalize and be ok with this scenario. Thanks

Do you have any pics. I'm the same height

This a great thread! I'm pre op for the sleeve and on 4/30 getting my lapband removed. I never told anyone in my family except my mom and my sister...not even my dad. I haven't told and never will tell him about my lapband. He is very negative and comments about my weight or say oh I thought you were on a diet when he feels like it to be snide! I've been struggling with telling him about it. But I don't think I can handle telling him, with the possibility of unwelcomed comments. My one girlfriend talks about setting boundaries with people, which is right. However, my dad doesn't respect them and offends and then gets offended that your offended by his comments (crazy, right?). The difference between this surgery and the last is that live with my parents now, last time I had my own. With reading all these comments and such, I'm going to continue working out as I do, change my eating habits, and have my "gall bladder" surgery. I'm a teacher so summer working out and weight loss is normal for me. Thanks because, I didn't know how to handle this. Like so many of us this is a SENSITIVE topic. I don't feel my surgery(ies) is no ones business and not a topic of discussion out side of my inner circle and those I trust. Unfortunately that's not my family with the exception of my mom and sister. Thanks because I'm considering this explanation. I haven't fully decided what I'll do because the way I feel about it (especially my dad) is touch and go. But I almost feel I'll probably end up not being so forth coming, but oh well it's my life....

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I was banded October 2010 and next week 4/30 I will have it removed for sleeve revision in possibly sometime in July(I'll give the rest of my story later). It's great reading all of this information. However, what is GERD? Angela
