I just had pre-op testing today. The Dr. told me to go off of insulin when I started the liquid diet and to only take it if I need to. I'm soooo excited!! Could this be the beginning of something great???

I just found out today that they had to change my date to the 10th. Getting excited. Pre-op testing in Wed. getting nervous.

I have an issue with my mom not approving of me having the surgery. I don't know what to do? She's my mom!

Hello everyone, My surgery is the 9th. I looking forward to it, but I'm also worried about the pain.

mynewlife86, I'm so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I've got a quick odd question. As your belly grows with your baby does anyone have pain at the port site?

I'm having mixed emotions, I'm excited to change my life, but at the same time terrified because I've never had surgery and I'm a baby with pain.

Top 10: 1: getting back some sort of sex life. 2: shopping with my sister and mom, in the same store. 3: start a family 4: live a long and healthy life 5: going on a roller coaster 6: having more energy 7: not being exhausted after work 8: not getting stared at when out in public 9: doing yard work without taking many breaks 10: look good in a bathing suit

Thank you Luluc. I'm looking forward to going through this with my husband. I think and hope it will make our bond grow.

How was that being banded on the same day as your husband?? My husband and I wanted to, but the Dr. thought it would be better if we had them at different days, so we are going to be 3 weeks apart.

Here is some baby dust being sent your way :crying:

Is there anyone out there who is getting banded with their spouse? Our surgeries are 3 weeks apart.

I'm sooo glad I found this thread! I thought I was the only 28 year old with little to no sex drive! I hope to God my sex drive returns. When I was dating my husband we would have sex a least 5x a week multiple times a day, and now we're lucky to get it in once every few weeks! I hate it, hopefully it will all change after we are both banded.

My surgery date is February 9th I'm excited. I'm doing the lap-band because I didn't feel comfortable re-arranging my organs. Let me know what you choose.

I'm also a 2009 Bandster, February 9th. DH is being banded on Jan. 19th. Looking forward to the new year!! The only thing I have to before surgery is the pre-op testing and to start my liquid diet. Here's hoping I pass the pre-op testing. :biggrin:

Its will totally be worth it autumndannie, when you are thin and have a bundle of joy in your arms, you will forget how hard this is now.

Welcome worlfree, I'm on server shots a day, I'm too hoping that the band will help me get over the need on insulin.

That's why I'm being banded in Feb. DH is being banded in Jan. and Dr. thought it would be better to have separate surgeries. I'm looking forward to Thursday, I'm going for the nutritional workshop with DH. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

That's a really good way to look at everything. I too wanted a girl, but at this point I'll take whatever I'm given, just as long as the baby is healthy. Since you are 12 days out... How was/is the pain???

I feel the same way! I've never had surgery either, and all of my friends have kids, even some of my bigger friends have happy healthy babies. I've often thought what did I do to deserve this???:sad: Hopefully this surgery is the key to a new healthier life with children. :smile2:

Good luck Autumndannie, I've been TTC for 2 years, with nothing, I'm 28 with PCOS and Diabetes, sometimes its hard to keep hope alive. I'm going to be banded Feb.9th. I hope this works for me. Keep us posted on your progress.

How soon did you get pregnant after you were banded?

Hello I'm new to this forum. I've had PCOS for 2 years and have been diagnosed with diabetes in Oct. 08. How long did you guys have have to wait until TTC?

I'm having surgery Feb. 09. I was diagnosed with diabetes Oct.08. Nervous about the pain, healing and a possible higher risk of complications.

Has anyone heard anything about Dr. Kralovich? He is going to be my surgeon.
