This is for everyone and anyone. I think that everything is falling into place as far as getting ready for the scheduling of the surgery and I am falling to pieces. I am worried if I will be able to accomplish what I have set out to do, that is succeeding in losing weight with the help of the band.

My worries are will I be able to follow all the rules,what to eat,when to eat,how much to eat.will I over eat, how will I know if I do. If there are problems how will I know?

I know that at one time or another you all have went through all the newness of the band and we have to start somewhere, but in reading all that I have read in this forum there seem to be problems I am not sure that I will recognize weather it is health related or band related. HOW WILL I KNOW...Is it that hard to stay on a so called diet with the band...don"t get me wrong I never expected it to be easy but I am worried that I will fail AGAIN...but with a lot larger bill to pay. If any one can Help me please I need some feed back....my mind is in a whirl..excited for the future but scared of failure and I need to succeed for myself FIRST as well as my husband, children and grandchildren as I want to be around for a long time:faint:

:nervous Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that your're definitely not alone in your feelings here. I've had similar feelings myself. Anyway, I do believe that you will succeed because you made an effort to reach out to others and you seem sincere. That's what it takes--being devoted. I haven't had my surgery yet but I have prayed about it and feel at peace with this. I encourage you to keep reaching out to others--like in this forum for support. I'm kinda new at communicating in this type of format but I'm learning because I know how important it is to have support from family and friends and those who are going through the same thing. May God bless you.:)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
