Surgery Tomorrow 8/12, Feeling Like It's Christmas Eve!



Recommended Posts

Well, I've packed my little bag, I have stocked the fridge with what I'll be needing, done the laundry, cleaned the house and I'm getting ready to chill out for the evening. I thought I would be more nervous or even a little panicked, but I'm very calm and really looking forward to tomorrow. I have appreciated all of the hits and tips on this message board pre-op, and I'm excited to tune in for post-op. The first 51 years have been great, except for this weight issue, I know the 2nd half of my life will be even better being in a healthier state.

good luck to you all and prayers going your way! What a wonderful journey you are about to embark on. I was banded 6-13-12 and wouldn't change a thing. Although my weight loss has been slow and steady I'm so happy, I'm down 72 lbs as of today. I'm so very excited for your both, beyond words! First few days for me were painful and I got extremely constipated but other than that, easy peasy. Walk walk walk and sip sip sip when you get home.

hugs

Went great no complications as of yet (knock on wood)... I'm not in a lot of pain I've only take 2 doses of pain meds and I've been walking but the gas is being stubborn. They won't let me take any gas x yet they've only allowed me to have ice Water which quenches all of my needs. I have dry mouth due to the morphine they gave but other than that I'm banded and I'm still alive so life is pretty damn good!

      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?
