Hi April, I just sent you a friend request, thank you

Hi, I loved reading all your posts. I'm booked in for my surgery on Sept 26th. Just wondering how you're all getting on after surgery or in the run up to it? I can feel my anxiety building each day but I'm excited to think this could be the positive change I need after years of yo yo dieting. I'm flipping back & forth between the positive & negative posts & probably driving myself crazy! So happy I found this site though there's so much information shared

Hi all, I'm new to this site & although I have researched a lot about WLS I'm finding it difficult to get some of the information I need regarding breastfeeding before (pre op diet) & after WLS. My baby is almost 3mths old. I'm due to have my surgery on Sept 26th & plan to continue breastfeeding. Has anyone done this successfully?

Thank you so much for your response. It's great that you managed to work your band around your pregnancy! I'm currently breastfeeding & hope the pre op diet won't effect my milk supply? It's not a liquid only one & I plan on drinking plenty of water plus take my pregnancy supplement. I'm expressing & freezing so I'll have enough milk for while I'm in the hospital. I plan to express & dump for 48 hrs after surgery because of anaesthetic & any pain relief then resume BF do you think that sounds ok? Sorry for all the questions it's very difficult to get the information & I'm feeling really guilty about having this surgery so soon after his birth but I really can't go on as I am. I've been yo yo dieting all my life!

Hi, Well done on your success. I'm due to have my surgery on Sept 26th & I'm so nervous about wether I'm making the right decision. I keep flipping between the positive & negative comments & hoping this will work for me. I hope like you it will be my best decision ever! What is PB?
