So, I found out this week that I got approved on the first try. Now the nerves have kicked in and I hate to admit, I'm a little scared. Mostly scared of all the bad stuff that I read. I know I shouldn't concentrate on the cons, but I just can't help being nervous. Anybody else out there with these feelings

I made the mistake of looking up lap band failures right after I was approved. Almost talked my way right out of it. The more I read the more am convinced most complications are because people did not follow orders. I think if a person is really ready to make the changes needed they will be fine. My surgery is scheduled for January 22 and I can't wait.

Don't let all that "bad stuff" get to you! All will go well :) Make sure to read up on all the wonderful success stories in here. They will give you energy! I was banded 17 days ago, and while my recovery was rocky for the first 3 days, I have to say, that it was all worth it! I'm down 22 lbs and it has already boosted my self-esteem.

You can do this! You are worth it!

Good Luck and many blessings your way xoxoxo

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
