Hi all! I'm less than a week from surgery(jan 28) and I'm starting to get nervous. This has been a two year journey and finally it's here! I'm excited but scared! Anyone else feel or felt like this?

Definately! I could've written that 2 months ago when I was banded (nov 28). I guess it's the fear of the unknown. I can honestly say that it's full steam ahead for me. You have an exciting new life ahead of you, enjoy the journey.

I just wrote a quote on my Facebook that said..."A good goal should SCARE you a little and EXCITE you alot." This is my mantra for my surgery that is scheduled for Feb 7th!! Good luck!

Spaness, I LOVE that quote, totally stealing. Thank you. LOL.

asr2468, Yes, when I was banded I was scared out of my mind. But I could no longer live the way I was living and be happy. I was so off track with my life it wasn't funny. For me, getting the band was the only way I wanted to keep on living.

I am becoming more nervous by the day! I am scheduled for 1/31 and I can't believe I am taking this step. I am so nervous I won't succeed because I have failed every other diet, but the doctor and everyone at the support group has been great.

Scared + Nervous = NORMAL! You will do great. We all felt that way, but I have never regretted the decision!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
