    August surgery buddies!

    My pre-op resting is not until 5 days or so before. I have to do a COVID test at that time too.

    I thought I would be and I wanted to be, but my doctor confirmed yesterday that I will definitely be there overnight. That said, I’ve been seeing videos of people packing elaborate bags, but I think that might be overkill. I might just go with my toiletries and chargers and call it a day.

    I was wondering about this. I have stairs too.

    August surgery buddies!

    I’m nervous, but I wish it was sooner rather than later. I’m an educator and I was only able to get it scheduled 1 week before I have to go back to work! So I’ll only have 1 week off. Is anyone here worried about going back to work? Or are you guys blessed with staying home?

    Bunny Bandsters - April '09, MASTER THREAD #1

    I was banded this past monday the 20th and I know what people mean now about the sholder pain. It has been hell. And I have barely been able to burp instead I get this hiccup that then causes pain to shoot to my shoulder. It has been hell. Also I only have two incisions but the one that is at my belly button is the one causing the most problems. Every once in while I get this REALLY sharp pain especially if sit or turn in certain ways. I'm being very ginger with myself. I am happy that I finally have my band but I want to get on with my diet and exercising. I am really beginning to HATE liquids...lol. Still its been and I'm sure will keep being an adventure (BTW...I'm happy to report that from pre-op diet to now I'm down 32 pounds:) Hurray!!!)
  11. I'm not so much scared about the surgery but scared about making it through those two weeks of liquid post-op after my two weeks of liquids pre-op and then getting on with the rest of my life...it's frightening...exciting but frightening none the less. I feel like I'm waiting on the line for a roller coaster.

    Scheduled for April 20th and scared!

    Thanks guys, I'm wondering how are you all doing on exercise. Truth be told I am going from an extremely sedentary life, to trying to work out at least a little. Do you find THAT to be hard? I'm finding myself still tired most of the time, although I am starting to think that more of that is mental. Do you guys find your energy improving?
  13. Hello, I go for surgery on the 20th and going crazy on the liquids but I'm more excited then scared now:) Its getting soo close and a part of me really did not think this would ever happen. Its great and terrible and scary and exciting and nerve racking and everything all at the same time.
