Hey! I'm 27 and this will be my very first surgery ever! I'm nervous and excited at the same time, though I'm sure the majority of you feel the same, this will also be my first support group! Not sure what to say... so, hi!

Hi Mle,

Congrats on your surgery Monday...whoo hooo!! My surgery was on 10/24. I was nervous and excited too. You will be amazed at how quick the surgery is and how small the incisions are. This is a great support group as well, you will like it.

That's good to hear, that it's a breeze, I feel good about it, then I have floods of doubt, then I'm OK. LOL. When does the emotional ups and Downs end?

Welcome to LBT.Com! Your emotions are normal. Most likely will continue the first week post op. First, its what did I do and then its, I hope I'm not eating,drinking, moving too much or maybe not enough. LOL

You will do great! Keep focused on the prize. Any questions, just ask! Follow Drs orders and keep us posted on how you're doing !

Madly is right on! All of those feelings are normal. Then one week after surgery you will be so happy and it is all worth it!!!

Be sure you supplies like a heating pad, laxitive, gas x, and soup broth I made my own so it was so good. Cambells has some very good cream soup with water I lived on both of those.No matter how you feel now or the first few days and weeks afterwards this is the best thing you can do for yourself and so young good girl. Remember to get yur fills on time those are the key the fills make the band do its job. Good luck and we all look forward to working with you....

Well , I survived!! On in quite a bit of pain, not hungry at all, and supppper sleepy .. but I made it. I will get to go home from the hospital today, but I kinda don't want to! Lol.

My surgery is tomorrow. Any tips??

Well, looks like you had it today! You're probably out of it, any tips I could give, would be to soak up all the fee help, take advantage of the pain meds and make sure to SLEEP. I just now feel like I'm back to somewhat normal. Moving around is getting easier, and it hurts less. I had a sneeze coming today and was terrified. Lol. But it was OK.

Are u doing pureed food? The majority of what I've been doing is chicken breast, tuna, and optifast shakes. If u puree chix breast and use Greek yogurt instead of mayo-- that's a ton of protein. 1 package of tuna is like 18 grams protein.
