These posts were so helpful to me! I'm a week out and have been feeling as if I'm the only one going through these jitters. Thank you all for your posts! It's great to know I'm not the only one who has experienced doubts and fears.

So thankful for this forum! I was feeling so alone with my thoughts and feelings! My surgery is Dec. 8 and as each day passes, I feel more excitement and trepidation.

I can relate to all those emotions! My date is Dec. 8 and I'd be glad to be your buddy!

I'm December 8, as well, and would love to be a part of this buddy group. I'm apprehensive after going through a gastric bleed and lap band erosion that had me in Intensive Care for five days. Having said that, I am committed and determined to do this right and welcome the comrade ride and support. I begin my shake diet tomorrow so it's game on!

I know what you mean--a week away and it gets very real. Let's stay in touch and support each other. I'm in Kansas--what state are you in?

I'm keeping it simple--I bought shakes from Costco (premier Brand), I also ordered some Chicken Broth from Unjury. Other than that, I got Torani brand sugar free syrup in strawberry, peach, and raspberry.

I'm on December 8th and feeling both excited and scared. I start my protein diet tomorrow so it's getting real...I'm having a sleeve but it follows a lap band removal. The lap band eroded and it was very traumatic. I'm hoping for a good experience with the sleeve.

I'm in the same boat--my revision is December 8! Let's stay in touch--we are both going to be fine!

Thanks so much for your kind words. My experience with the lap band erosion was pretty traumatic (intensive care, transfusions, gastric bleed), that I think I've just got myself spooked. Looking forward and getting things organized--it seems to help to be in action.

I am scheduled for surgery in one week but am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I had a lap band eight years ago that completely eroded, so I'm a little more fearful as a result of what I've already been through. Starting my pre op diet tomorrow and want to feel joyful instead of afraid!
