First, I want to congratulate you on make the decision of a lifetime to become a "bandster". Second, I can totally relate to your nervousness. I have had many surgeries and I still was nervous. It is the fear of the unknown but you will be in excellent hands. Just think, you are making a very exciting change in your life so you are probably nervous about that as well. We are all here for you and hope to hear about your journey to come. Feel free to write me anytime. xoxoxo ~ Blessings ~

Hey honey! I know what you are feeling and I don't even have a surgery date yet! I just got my insurance approval last week and have a class to attend prior to setting a date. And I have been having all kinds of emotions since I found out it was approved, because it is real now...its really going to happen! I've done a ton of research and reading so I'm comfortable with the changes that are coming, but girl....I have never had surgery either, I've never even had an IV!!!! I'm not scared of needles or the surgery or anything like that...its just the unknown, it will get ya! But girl, you hang in there, this time tomorrow you'll be on the other side and you'll be able to come back and tell me how I just need to calm down that its not bad at all :) I wish I had more to share from experience but I'm still on "this" side of it all too, but wanted you to know that you aren't alone in the vast degrees of emotions you are feeling! Hang tight, you got this!!! Just think, the life you've always wanted is about to begin TOMORROW!?!?! how exciting is that? :D

I was SUPER nervous too! I just had my surgery this past Friday and I was freaking out. But, it went fine and I feel pretty good. It was my first surgery too! You'll do great!!

I was fine all up until they were about to wheel me in. I kid you not that I freaked out on my doc and almost got up and walked out. But I did it. For me and my pain tolerance level I thought the surgery was cake! Much better than I expected. It's natural to be nervous but you will be just fine! Congrats on the big day!

Hey guys so I an on the other side, not as bad as I thought!! ... Just feels like someone beat up my stomach but otherwise I am walking around, drinking Water and taking my Vitamins (chewable and dissolvable of course) The only concern is that I cant feel where my port is, but I am also very swollen...anyone else have this issue in the beginning?

      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?

      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
