A little worrie !



Recommended Posts

I am having my lap band surgery in 16 days. I am getting a little worried. I know this is what I want to do and I know that all change is hard. Any words of support would be great.

:rolleyes2:

It is an awesome tool if you're committed to a lifestyle change. A properly adjusted band combined with exercise and eating reasonably will shed your unwanted fat slowly but surely.

Good luck!

I felt the same way before my lap band. Its normal to feel worried..it still IS a surgery. The morning of I was shaking..I never had any kind of surgery before. But my dr was there before I went under and he calmed me a lot. Talk to him to let him ease even up to that very minute. Its over and ur awake before u know it and the rest of the day is the easy part..bc ur on pain meds..lol. But don't worry its over before u kno it. Comes and goes fast. You"ll be fine. Also..reading success stories on this site helps a lot too. Everyone here really helped ease my jitters. Can't wait to hear all about ur surgery when its over and see the new you! Cheers

It really is normal to worry, it's surgery after all. The fact is you are doing something great for yourself. Just relax, follow doctors orders and you will do great!

You deserve to be healthy!

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

      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! 😞
