Welcome!

It's normal to be nervous. I know I was downright scared to death. But, the surgery itself wasn't bad at all. In fact, my recovery time was pretty fast. I had my surgery on a Friday and was back to my normal routine by Wednesday. In fact, I didn't even take painkillers after my first day home because I didn't feel I needed them.

You'll do fine. Congratulations on this big step towards health :)

Oh that's totally normal. You'll bounce between "yay I'm getting banded!" and "oh hell what am I doing?" over and over between now and then lol. We all go through it!

Definitely keep posting, this is a really great source for support and information :)

I keep having the ups and downs of being super excited to being like OMG, what am I doing, to Im gonna cry in so scared. It is just all the emotions we have to go through. I am in Houston too, having an EGD tomorrow morning and surgery on March 28. Who are you doing yours with? I am using True Tesults with Dr Reilly.

Omg me too!! My EGD is Tuesday!! Let me know how that goes for you I am nervous about that as well... my surgery is the 11th of April... I chose next month cause of work schedule.. But I have been really nervous and just sometimes scared and worried I've been trying to keep my mind off of these things but sometimes I just can't and all I can think about is my surgery! Have you started the Protein Shakes? If so which ones are you drinking I am actually having trouble finding one that I actually can drink... So far just the strawberry they have there in the office?

Still waiting, they said once I go back it should only take about 5-8 mins. Then we go over the results and go home.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
