Getting sleeved May 7th, but I guess the anxiety is kicking in...I guess it's normal because it is surgery and it will help me save my life...but, I'm getting really freaked out...

I feel you girl!! I am going in May 11th for mine and I am getting nervous. I was so excited to get my date and have approval. Now I am like....."Really...Wow!!!"

Good Luck and kick some butt!! I will be looking for you to see how it goes for you!! Write if you need support and it sounds like do not forget your gas -x strips!!

Congrats!!

Nerves are normal before any surgery. Just take deep breaths, try not to dwell on it and do what you can to handle any specific anxieties that you have. Before you know it, you'll be sleeved and wondering why you were so nervous!

Lissa always seem to give relaxing advice lol

Had my sleeve done Monday, the 7th. Definately takes some getting used to. Left the hospital on Tuesday, by Wednesday was off pain meds. Keeping up on the liquids is hard, the vitamins even worse. I am drinking more by the day, and feeling a lot better. The gas pains really suck, and walking does help. Can't wait until my follow up on Monday, I can't wait to eat yogurt and a little bit of an egg!!!! With the pre and post op diet, I am learning that I miss solid food and the taste of real food. The small burps, and bowel gurgles are crazy!

So ABC news story tonight was about 1-800-GET-THIN and how they have killed six of their patients with lap band surgery. Now I was good until that story.

Note it was the Lapband! I had a military dr I just flat would not let toug me because if his cavilar attitude. I was instinctively right to do so - all of his Lapbanda have been revised. He put them in upside down or wrong!

That is amazing! Maybe if some of these doctors are threatened with jail time, like Michael Jackson's doctor, they would rethink having extra training or doing procedures they are not experienced with.
