Congrats! You'll do fine..I just had my surgery 5/27 & I'm already doing well. Lucky you! I just had the equivalent of liquid tylenol.

That is awesome! I'm glad you took control of your health & weight.

This site has been very helpful for me too! I was banded 5/27/08 & have lost 16lbs to date. I'm excited & I'm also scared because I keep reading about the negative experiences. Good luck with the rest!

My husband was my biggest supporter! I almost did it behind his back, afraid he would not approve & I'd feel my health wasn't as important as I thought it should be.

Silly me! He was 100% for it. He knows the amount of money I spent eating out & the health problems I have had.

I'm sorry your husband is scared. Hopefully he'll come around & see it is important for your health & the weight loss is necessary for that. Hope he can rethink this....it takes time & he probably hasn't thought about it near as much as you have.

Good luck!

WoW! Good for You! Your parents obviously love you & know it is your health they are helping you with. Congrats!

I have had a sleep study- it was no big deal. I have had a cpap for the last two years and its helped. Good luck to you!

I was banded last week & I'm so happy I went for it! I've been contemplating it for the past few years.

Today is Day 6 of my post-op diet. I've been doing well & I'm already down 16 lbs from surgery date!

I scheduled four days of relaxation to de-stress before my surgery. My husband & I flew to San Diego and two days later, I received a call that my grandmother (favorite person in the world!) passed away. So, two days later, I had surgery in Mexicali, Mexico. Two days after that we drove back to San Diego & flew back to Oklahoma. Luckily, they were able to hold the funeral for me....that had been a worry. So, now three days after the funeral, I'm doing well.

I'm encouraged by all the success stories on this website. Hope things continue to go well. I'm started my modified clear liquid diet today.

:smile2:I'm still in shock that I've lost so much, but I'm guessing it is mostly water weight. Time will tell!

Always-
