sooo....this long pre-op process of almost over...surgery date Feb.7th! i'm so ready for the new journey to begin. I can't stop eating this week, but I start Pre-op liquid diet this Monday.

I am scared to death of surgery day. Stupid me, watched the actual lap band surgery on the internet and now i'm freaking out. I have a lot of emotions...i'm scared about the surgery, I'm anxious all the time, i can't picture myself thin again, I am afraid I will miss eating food, I didn't tell people I was having surgery and I am so sick of the negative comments - i dont want people to ask how i am loosing weight. BUT I AM SOOOOO EXCITED and READY for this. LOOKING FOR SUPPORT COMMENTS. :)

Hi-

I am also being banded on 2/7. You post is as if I wrote it. I feel exactly the same way you do. I am excited, scared, anxious, etc. Since we are starting this journey together lets try to help and support each other. I know I will need help along the way. :blink:

This is an opportunity to finally do the right thing and take control of our health and wellbeing. We can do this...one day at a time.

We diserve this!

I hope you will stay in touch so we can share our triumphs and challenges!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Enjoy the day!

Hi Mel--

I am getting banded on 2/10 and can so totally relate to the questions/freak out moments right now! But everytime I start to freak out I keep my goal in mind and it's still more powerful than the doubts, maybe that will help you too?

Please be sure to keep me posted on how everything goes!!

Jen

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
