The process was hard or the actual band?

I expect both

My process was fairly easy and so was the initial weight loss. You can't get in the mindset where u think the band is the solution. It's a tool. And never compare yourself to others. Follow your drs guidelines and you will be fine

I agree 100% with ballajones. Never get the mindset that the band is the magic wand. To lose weight and keep it off you have to work hard and you have to WANT it!

Good luck! I never thought my 6mo pre-op was ever going to end and now I am scheduled for surgery! SO surreal! I hope after surgery I can help with more advice on this site. I can't wait to give back since everyone has helped me so much. Keep pushing forward girl!! :)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
