Good Luck Letty. I have my pre-admissions physical tommorow, meeting with surgeon & they give me cleanser to scrub up for 3 days prior to surgery. It's getting closer and I'm definitely more nervous! I'm excited but can feel the anxious feeling - almost like one gets if you have to talk in front of a whole group of people...anticipating the unkown.

Hi, I know your nervous but you're going to be fine. I was banded last Tuesday 6/19. I was sore for the 1st couple of days and each day I felt better. The key is to keep moving, walk and move your body. Drink little sip of fluids but frequently and you will be fine in no time. I have no pain and am able to drink easily and have Jello and popsicles and a Protein Drink and I feel fine. I went shopping at Walmart yesterday, went out over the weekend and thus far I have lost since surgery 6/19 12lbs. All together with the 12 lbs I lost during the 2 weeks of Optifast and liquid diet before surgery I have lost 24 lbs. I am anxious to hear how you do after surgery. Be brave and strong this is the best thing you can do for yourself in your lifetime to keep healthy. You're in my prayers!! Good Luck! :P

Thanks everyone :) ill keep you guys updated

Hi Letty,

I'm getting banded tomorrow too! I'm not worried about the surgery or the pain. I am worried about the hunger I will experience until I'm in the green zone tho. Maybe we can cheer each other on?

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
