What were your symptoms of the prolapse? Just curious.

I guess I am just basically writing to myself since I dont believe anyone would be much interested in what I have to say. I am getting really anxious and happy now that I finally have a surgery day. Just praying that everything will go smoothly and mosly that its worth it!! I have heard so many people state that they aren't losing weight that its scaring me. What are they doing wrong? What can I do that's different so that I don't fall into the same trap? I am pinning all of my dreams and hopes on this surgery, wish me luck!!

Thank you Chole! I appreciate all the support from you and others on this board! I had my surgery on 8/10. I am getting around a lot better. For some reason just had a single incision about 2-3" on my belly. Guess its a new technique! I haven't been "stomach" hungry, but the head hungries are a biotch!! LOL I have stayed on the liqued diet eating sf pops and jello with no prob. Looking forward to mushies for sure! Thanks again for your support! Julie

Hello all, I have pre op on Tues, Aug 4th with Dr Juarez and surgery on the 10th! I am so excited! Dr Juarez is so nice and informative and his office staff are the nicest people! Very friendly and effecient. I am a self pay so I dont have info on insurance stuff.

I was told just a liquid diet two days prior. I have been dieting since I got my surgery date so I can get a jump start on losing the weight.

I am so nervous excited and everything in between! My surgery is @ 6:00 a.m. tomorrow! Am I the only one who is hoping they arent the small percentage the band doesn't work for? All these things keep going through my mind makin me krazy!! Anyhoo, good luck to all of you!

Great! I go in for my pre op today ((((yeah))))) so I will keep you all posted on that. I will set up a meetup group on www.meetup.com. We need to think of a name for our Bakersfield group. Any ideas????

Hello all, I live in Bakersfield CA, my surgery is scheduled for Aug 10th. I have never been this heavy and started my descent into obesity after having a hyrecstomy, then depression followed (I was only 34). I have been on a downhill slide since then. Now I have developed ostearthritis in my knees and cant get around without pain. The dr said that losing weight will get me back on my feet again. I am self pay, and praying that this is the answer for me!

I am laughing all the way to my title "winner" :smile:
