Im having my surgery 6 am Monday, and my Mother just informed me that she won't be offering me any kind of support whatsoever because she disagrees with the surgery because she thinks it's too risky, and that I could lose weight on my own. Her words were so hurtful, and this happening one week after my boyfriend broke up with me, and surgery in less than 48 hours is just so painful and overwhelming

You are always so sweet on these forums:) can I ask how the first month went with you? I had the plication too and am 12 days out. Hoping it gets easier;)

It's gonna be fantastic for you and your new life to come!

Breaks my heart to read this . I can completely relate and this is why my band is top secret. Never second guess your choice to take control of your health.

I wish I loved near you because I would take you to the hospital and then take you home when you were done. Being a mom myself I can't imagine NOT supporting my daughter in something she felt so strongly about.

You have made the right decision to go forward. There are a lot of people on here who will support you. If you want,, you can always start conversations on here with members if you maybe want things a little more private. But I will say a prayer for you because I know you are going though some pretty rough stuff. ((((Hugs)))))

Words cannot express my gratitude for all your kind words. Thank you for your kind words. Im deeply touched. Omg less than 24 hours to go!!

Be Yourself

Everyone Else is Already Taken

Best wishes... we will be here for you!

Thank you for the tips:) you are an inspiration, not just for the lapbanders, but for us plicationers too. It's scary sometimes getting a procedure done that is so new. But let's face it, they were all new at some point. That being said their isint many people to talk to regarding my procedure so I appreciate any and all input/advise you have:) I have to say I'm not hungry per say, but am a little sick of the full

Liquid stage as I have to do 2 full weeks of it. 10 days to go! I don't have very much energy. I'm not sore, I wonder if its the minimal calories I get? Prob around 300-500 right now. So the thought of expending more energy on excersizing... Well exhausts me lol
