Thank you and I'm so glad you're ok!

Thank you all! I cried a whole bunch and am going through the "my life is over" phase. It'll pass, and I'll be ok. Hopefully in 6 months, everything will be healed. I am SO GLAD that damn band is gone though!!! Good riddance!

I went in this morning for mine.. I was having a band removed and GB done. About 5 hours after waking up, my surgeon told me that he only took the band out but nothing else. Apparently I had stomach erosion and a hard esophagus. Now I have to wait at least 6-8 months for everything to heal and then he will look at scar tissue to see if it's doable. Worst day ever.

I'm right there with you. In this ugly smock..waiting! I was hyped before I got here, now I've had plenty of waiting room time to think lol. Good luck!

With all due respect y'all, I'm glad I'm not the only crazy one around here! Lol! Thanks for the replies so far. Whew.

Awesome, thank you!

Please someone tell me that you're as emotional as I am! My surgery is on Monday (June 30) and I'm losing it! It's everything from "what if I die?" to "what if I mess up the diet"...and ALL the small things in between. My fiancé probably thinks I'm nuts because I've cried the last two nights. And maybe the death part is because my old self really will be dying in a sense. I don't know but I'm pretty much psycho at this point!

Hey guys! Yeah I'm on my liquid diet now. Surgery is Monday, the 30th... Ugh! Too many liquids! My surgeon put me on a 2 week diet and, well, this thing sure doesn't get an easier!

It's only a matter of time before someone in Richmond rolls through!

My doc says no gummies, because of sugar mostly. Flint stones chewables are the way to go IMO!

My date was rescheduled from June 12th to June 30th this morning. Totally bummed out today.

Anyone else having theirs on the 12th!? I have my pre-op on the 2nd and am expecting a week of liquids.

I'm pre-op GB, but have lap band currently.. My port is on my left side and I occasionally get these sharp shooting pains by my port area. Can't wait to get this stupid band out of me!

Soon, ladies, soon!

June 12 here!
