Recommended Posts

HI,

I AM ABOUT TO BE BANDED ON AUGUST 31, 2010. I AM STARTING MY PRE-SUGERY DIET ON AUGUST 17TH. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY SURGERY BECAUSE I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW CHANGES TO MY BODY, BUT AS THE SUGERY DATE GETS CLOSER, THERE ARE DAYS WHEN I'M NOT SURE IF I WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH IT. IS THIS NORMAL?? I NEED A FRIEND TO TALK TO THROUGH THIS JOURNEY. I AM IN BUFFALO, NY. LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING!:)

I certainly was scared 6+ years ago when I made my decision - I even had some buyer's remorse - take a look at Lap Band Surgery - What Have I Done? Buyers Remorse Is Not Uncommon

If you weren't nervous and excited at the same time, now that would be outside of the norm:smile:

Everyone on all of these boards is there to provide help for you. Please feel free to PM or send me emails with specific questions or concerns. Best of luck to you:thumbup:

      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! 😞
