My lap band surgery date is July 5. And I am so nervous, I pushed the date back from June 7 to this date. I don't really have the support I did when I was preparing for it. That's why I came on here.

This site is an awesome place for support. You made a smart choice in recognizing you not having the support you need. We are all here when ya need someone :)

You are so right!!

I'm so glad I found this place! This will be so important once I get banded to be able to find support from other people that are or have gone through the tough things I'll be going through.

Yes I am! It's taken a lot of nerves to actually go for the operation as I have an immense fear of being put under, it's the reason why I have gotten so big because I have been putting it off because of my fear, it's like I panic because i think what if i don't wake up? or what if panic when I wake up because i can't breathe or see properly. This all may sound so irrational but it's very real for me and it's the worst panic ever.

I am cloustrophobic so that is where this fear stems from.

But because i am the heavest i have ever been i can feel my health going down I have decided that enough is enough.

My surgey date is on the 12th of july! so not long at all and I am will be on the milk diet for two weeks!

So I hope they will be able to give me a pre sedative before i go for surgery so i relax and try not run out of the hospital!

Sorry this post is a bit long but i havn't spken to anyone yet who is going to go through this so it will be nice to talk to others in my situation! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
