I am right there with you:help: i cant get rid of this HUGE fear.

was anyone else scared of dying from the general anesthsia? for some reason i am terrified! also do they intubate you?

GREAT ideas would be very helpful. i have tried calorie counting on my own to lose weight and i suck at it lol i stop tracking my calories. But i am bound and determined to do it.:whoo:

well thats a great compliment:clap2: so you didnt need to do an all liquid diet then?

Im sure you will do great. I am nervous also and i dont have my surgery scheduled lol im still waitng on mu intial visit. I have alot or worrys...like will i wake up from the anesthesia? stupid worrys that im sure i will be fine. and you will be to!

what does the diet that you are supposed to be on about 2 weeks before the surgery to shrink your liver consist of? I heard its all liquids but exactly what did you have to do? Im thinkin i can start it now, im waiting for my initial visit.

well glad to hear i can sleep on my tummy again!! Thanks for the answers. oh man the thought of a liquid only diet.....:help: lol

wow thats great!

I am actually goin to the same doc you had urs done by. How is he??

I live in kent. over by seattle!

i was wondering after the lap band can you sleep on your stomach? I am a major tummy sleeper... also whats the diet consist of that you are supposed to be on about 2 weeks before your surgery and does it really help you lose weight. cuz if so couldnt i just keep up with that diet instead?

In the hospital for your surgery? How many days?

thank you so much for making me feel welcome:)
