Baba Wawa got a reaction from ilikebunnies in Feeling Apprehensive
Absolutely! It's elective surgery and all surgery carries risks, so it is normal to be anxious. I have had about 10 major surgeries and I was the most apprehensive about my banding, because I chose to do it. Try to think about how you are going to embrace your new lifestyle and your healthier body. This is the time to treat your body like a new baby, and your mind like an incorrigible teenager, lol. Best of luck to you!

Baba Wawa reacted to karewpah in Had Wine Tonight..
Sojourner...you say "we were all told by our surgeons..."
That irked me. How do you know what my surgeon told me or msDuran's told her?
To the OP...1 glass is not the end of the world...next time for each 1 glass of wine, have 2 glasses of Water. Don't think to drive because you don't know how it might affect you differently.
As for the calories...alcohol converts straight to sugar in your blood stream so use in limited quantities.
Forgive yourself and be kind to yourself...there's enough people in this world just waiting to take you down that you don't need to help them with it

Take it easy on yourself and don't drive when you drink more than one glass of wine. Banding doesn't affect the absorption of alcohol, as it does with DS and RNY, so you should be ok if you were ok pre-op drinking wine.
Alcohol actually lowers blood glucose levels so you might feel more "tipsy" due to hypoglycemia after drinking.
The only risk of drinking is that some people find they drink more post-op, since there are foods that bandsters cannot tolerate and it is sort of a "fill the void" guilty pleasure.
Enjoy your glass of wine occasionally without guilt. If you have any questions it is a good thing to check in with your nutritionist to get questions answered.
Good luck to you!
