Hi guys I had my surgery yesterday and I was released today...it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be... I just wish I could get rid of some of this gas sorry for the TMI.... Other than that it's going pretty smoothly... I'm slowly taking sips of water today and it I can feel it trying to go down my new stomach... Feels kind of weird... I need vice anyone??

Hang in there I was on pre op diet for 10 days and I felt very weak I now 24 hours post op and feeling pretty good

Hi Mike, definitely you are not alone. I feeling all sorts of emotions right now. Mainly worried about my children, but I am doing this for them and to set good healthy examples for my children and to be able to do things with them that I can't do now. I know everything will turn out okay it's just that little voices that are bothering me and I have decided not to listen to them because I know what I am doing is for the better. Keep your head up and smile my friend we are all in this together. We are in it to win it!!

Where are you having yours done @@Harley?

Ha!! I'm having a breakdown right now!! But still determined

No the food wasn't too bad actually ... Yes a day before surgery I can only be on clear liquids which will be on Tuesday for me super excited and very nervous

You guys I cheated today and I feel horrible !!! I had been doing well since Tuesday my surgery is on the 17th. But I couldn't anymore and we had an event... I didn't eat horribly but I gave in... Beating myself over it now ...

Ok, my surgery is on Wednesday the 17th and my dr put me on a liquid diet since Monday the 8th and I am having such a hard time. I've been doing well but I am very hungry and I feel very weak and dizzy. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to pass out. Is anyone one else struggling with this? Please share. Support is needed. I feel like I can't do this but I'm barely hanging on.

@costalchick don't even listen to the Debbie downers they have no idea what we go through on a daily basis. And people who even tell me "oh I heard this or oh I heard that " do to even know what it feels like to be overweight and have knee pain. That's why I pick and choose who I want to tell. I am super nervous having second thoughts but I spoke to a friend of my cousins who had the surgery 10 years ago and said it was the best thing she did and even though her family was supportive she said they made her write a goodbye letter to her son!! She's laughing about it now. She Said second guessing your decision is normal and she had the same thoughts but everything will turn our ok. So I am keeping positive and focused on my liquids until the next 6 days I want this day to come and pass quickly and be done and over with already. One thing I am nervous and anxious is if my dr will actually do the rny.. Since I have a band he needs to remove he has to see how much scar tissue I have. So he said if I have too much he will just remove my band and let my stomach heal for 6 months ... But I am keeping my fingers crossed because I want this done at once I don't want to have to go through all this nervousness again. Even though he doesn't sound too positive I know it is better to under promise than over promise so I am keeping positive. Good luck to you and keep me posted !!

Ok guys I am having my band removed and possible revision to rny depending on how my inside looks. I am super nervous. Dr put me on liquids stage 2 basically I am eating soups and protein shakes ... Is it normal to be second guessing your decision? Having bad thoughts ?? Any support will help. Thanks

Where are you located ? Yes me too I cannot wait to get the band out but I'm super nervous for the rny ... But I'm trying not to think about it I'm am sure it will all go fine. Who's your doctor ?

So finally after completing my options classes at kaiser my date is set for dec 17. Originally I had the lapband my dr is going to remove my band and do a revision to an rny the same time if everything looks ok inside. I'm super nervous. I keep reading horror stories and bad experiences online and it's freaking me out. Any support is appreciated
