I am about 10 pounds away from my starting weight and I need some motivation and support. I am looking back to bariatric pal to help motivate me again.

Thats great! yea i'm kinda of nervous too and I think I'm getting my first fill tomorrow, not positive tho! I subscribed to you on youtube because I have a vlog as well! I was banded Oct 26th! congrats on ur success so far :w00t:

I am newly banded and have been on this site researching for a while before I even had the band....i do agree that there are just some people that don't know what they chose to do fully. Seeing posts of people that think the band is a magic tool is annoying i agree. When i was at my pre-op class i was amazed at some of the people's questions they had just days before surgery that were truly questions that they should've been asking months before deciding to even get the surgery. I've wuickly learned that it's not my thing to read posts that just are so ridiculous and that are extremely negtive when it's the individual that should've been more educated. just ranting :cursing:lol but everyone else is a great support:thumbup:

they are so good, i had them before I was banded and it was recommended that I switch after but i just can't get the other chewable down so these are gunna have to do for me and ill just make sure my levels are up to par! i just chew them really well :sad:

okay so im kinda going crazy....i can't wait to be able to get out of my house and move around again! i'm def getting cabin fever. I'm really itchy everywhere and sometimes i feel dizzy and sick to my stomach...i feel like im ready to cry! my back is killing me from sleeping on my back and sitting in a chair, i'm walking around as much as i can but this hip cramp wont go away!!! ugh really upset and just want to be healed!:crying:

I just had the SILS 3 days ago, my surgeon just used the belly button scar tissue to go through so it will just look like my belly button!:thumbdown:

Hey i've actually been pretty good! less and less sore each day which is great and i'm just getting itchy where the bandage is!!! i'm too nervous to take the cotton ball out since I had the SILS in my belly button. I'm so happy i didn't have 5 incisions because I think I would be a lot more sore if it weren't for the single incision. But overall good, just some back pains from sleeping on my back:cursing: and that hurts more than the soreness from the surgery! How are u guys feeling today?

sooo everything went really well today and i am banded:thumbup: i cant believe how nervous i was and it wasn't nearly as bad as i was expecting soo i guess thats a good thing! i was in the hospital for 12 hrs from arrival until i got home...(only 20mins away) My surgeon Dr.Kaul was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. im just sore now and taking things slow. so happy to have started my journey! thanks for all the goodwishes!:wink:

OMG im starting to freak out! im soooo soo nervous for what to expect after....i kno ive done as much research that i can but i won't fully understand it all until im banded! that all changes tmw can't believe the time is here for me to get ready for the hospital! i have to be there at 8:30am! wish me luck! see you on the other side :crying::thumbup:

Okay so im really excited I found out on friday that my entire procedure will be covered by my insurance:thumbup: so thats amazinggg! i just got back from all my pre-admission testing and at this time next week i will be a bandster!! i seriously look back now and i cant believe the time flew by to quickly....i thought it was going to feel like forever! Anyway im really excited and just trying to talk myself out of being nervous abt the actually surgery. I'm mentally preparing myself for being put in the OR next week! :wink2:
