Lots of encouraging advice all over the board. There is a section with success stories, before and after pictures and lots of threads talk about the surgery and the aftermath. I was excited and nervous for my surgery. It has been all good so far with the first week after surgery being a bit harder for me than some, it still wasn't unbearable. Nearly 3 weeks out and I am feeling like myself, losing weight, feeling MUCH better after the weight loss, having small non scale victories like smaller clothes and such. Just read around the site and you can find lots of inspiration and help. Good luck to you.

Hey there!

My surgery is also set for 10/18. I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet tomorrow (10/4). GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF US!

I can't say I'm really nervous, isn't that crazy? I'm excited, that's for sure. More nervous about my success rather than the surgery itself.

I am being banded on 10/17 and started my pre-op diet yesterday. I have to say I am excited as well. The surgeon doing my surgery did my gall-bladder surgery back in 1996 and I have complete confidence in him. The pre-op diet is not as hard as I thought it would be. The hardest part is the caffeine withdrawal. I went cold-turkey and boy did I get a headache!

I was banded September 29th :P . I was nervous up until a few days before surgery. I began to get excited. My surgery was a breeze, spent a couple of days on the couch and slept a lot. Now, I'm five days in, I am going by all the post-op rules and feeling good overall. So far I can say it was worth it. I researched LapBand surgery and knew it is right for me.

Now, if you truly believe its right for you, go for it.

      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?
