amydeel got a reaction from Beckyyb93 in Need AUGUST bypass buddies!
Today was my big day. I am doing great! So grateful for such wonderful staff here at the hospital. They have been a huge help to me. My sweet husband was here all day and my daughter is spending the night with me. So thankful for this group and all of your support. Will lift you all up in prayer tonight. Praying that you too we have a good experience as well. I can't even express in words how incredible this experience has been so far! No hunger at all. Praise God!

I am 64. I had lap band 6 1/2 yrs ago and went from 292 to 172. Then all the trouble started with pneumonias, etc. all the Fluid came out of the band but the illnesses continued and worse. I am now 235 and 5' 4" . I know EXACTLY what you mean. Surgery and recovery don't worry me. Gaining all the weight back does !! Twice in my life I have lost over 100 lbs. and gained it back, or at least mist of it. I just can't go through that again. I am so proud if all of us. This is just a tool, we're told. If we stick together and use each other we CAN do it. I need to share tough times not just successes... Does anyone else have that "keep your troubles to yourself !" mantra from childhood? I have been eating like crazy like I'm about to head out on a death march .. This has got to stop. I have 1 week of preop diet. Surgery on the 20th. Thanks for listening!

Hey Amy - another one that will be going through this at same time!!! I am scared to pack up any clothes. I have always been a shop-a-holic but have not allowed myself to buy any more fat clothes. Planning on wearing what I have until they fall off of me. THEN I am going on a shopping spree!

I have discovered that my body is quick to produce the "rollercoaster" effect in my stomach now! I jump on the trampoline, tummy tickles, swing on a swing... more tummy tickles, do underwater sommersaults it tickles again! It's that lovely stomach dropping feel you get when you drive quick over certain hills or go down on a rollercoaster. I'm not positive I like it but I figured I'd share!
Extra bonus: I can do all those things and not be worried I look ridiculous, or will break something!

So, my bypass is scheduled for Aug 5th, as long as the insurance approval comes through. Everything else is done. Going for my pre-op appt next week. I am as nervous as a whore in church on the front row in a short skirt!!!!! I haven't been told that I have to have anything else done. However, I can be your Aug Buddy if you would like. It's nice to have someone to go through this together.
