Hi ppl!gd day!

I will be checking in2 the hospital tmr and havin the surgery on tues.

I'm very nervous and scared right now, not sure whether i'm doin the rite thing.

This is my 1st major operation and i have no idea wat to expect even though i read up a lot abt the lap band and am sure i wana get it done. i think its the surgery itself that scares me.

At the same time i'm very excited too... Is this normal?? i want to cry and laugh at the same time... :think

Piece of cake! I was anxious the night before too. The medical staff will treat you like royalty and you will be very reassured. You'll do just great!!

You and I will be banded on the same day. I pray that all goes well for you! Mine is day surgery so I don't go in until Tuesday morning. God bless you!

Good luck to both of you, I will keep you both in my prayers for smooth and easy surgeries and swift recoveries.

Yes it is normal to feel both excited and scared, especially since you have never been through a surgery and you don't really know what to expect. But as surgeries go, this is one of the easier ones if you will because they do it laproscopically so it's less invasive and a quicker recovery time.

Best to you both!

Cindy

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
