He was able to get both done in one surgery. It takes a little bit longer. I’m sore but doing well!

Oh, sorry! Dr Fass is in the same practice as Dr Faulkenberry. I think they use the same protocol.

Same. Just had my revision on Monday.

Hi! I'm a Fass patient so we probably had nearly the same protocol. My surgery was 4/2.

Thank you! Trying to sip all day.

Ok, y’all. It’s done. Surgery was at 2, came home at around 7. I snoozed for a few hours and didn’t take pain meds so now I’m awake waiting for the Tylenol, gabapentin and Celebrex to do its magic. Lots of gas pain and an occasional hurty place where my new, smaller stomach is. Must stay ahead of the pain with the meds!

My surgery is Monday. I already have anxiety so I'm kind of a nervous wreck. It helps to see people just starting their surgery journey! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing! I'll be watching you for inspiration!

Then we’ll hold each other up! I went for my surgery clearance appointment today at the hospital. It got real.

Thank you so much! It really does help to hear this.

That is so good to hear! Thank you.

Ah, yeah. Thank so much! It all gets real when you’re this close!

Thank you!

Yes, this will be a revision. The lap band didn’t work well for me but it’s still in there.

Thank you. This anxiety is no joke, man.

Hi All, My surgery is April 2nd and I'm getting pretty petrified. Wondering if I'm doing the right thing, scared it will fail, afraid of freaking my kids out when I tell them this week, scared of recovery, scared of not being able to eat food, just f**king scared, y'all! I had Lap Band surgery in 2007 but I don't remember being this scared. Someone help me remember why I'm doing this and tell me how you got through the scared part. Ever so grateful in advance...
