panicky

[Thundarump 17]

My surgery is Nov 7 , I'm getting panicky now thinking I don't know if I can go without eating some food after surgery and doing the liquid phases....

I'm starting to second guess the surgery now:((

I have a panic disorder also all just. Started this year... I take klonopin as needed and lexapro everyday....

And liquid pain meds I think causes my panic attack s also

When I had my Tonsilectomy in may I was given lortab elixir. And had panic attacks while I was on it

Having this surgery isn't benefiting anyone but you and your health.

You'll probably have to cut your eating drastically, and begin exercising

if you don't already. This is a difficult thing to do and takes a big

commitment from you.There are lots of reasons why you can't lose

weight, but none of them will help you at all. If you look around at

people of normal weight and think you want to be one of them, then

you know what to do.

There is no malabsorption with the band! And being that Xanax is a small pill, you shouldn't have any issues with taking it. I suppose to be safe you could cut them in half before taking.

Push the negative feelings aside and think about something else. Anything positive. Maybe not related to the band so you don't fall back into panic mode......I have anxiety and take klonopin as needed as well and have been seeing a psychologist, who has been instrumental in helping me redirect my thoughts as soon as the "what ifs" creep into my head. DON'T WORRY! People do this EVERY DAY!
