Tomorrow Is The Day- Getting The Crapband Out Of Me!

Im super excited but nervous at the same time. I have a husband and 2 kids and I worry about not making it through the surgery. But Im looking forward to getting back to my weight loss. I've gained 20 lbs since my slip was diagnosed and my band was unfilled. I feel gross and disgusting right now. Anyways, wish me luck!

    On July 9, I get rid of the crapband and get sleeved. I can hardly wait! Glad to hear your surgery went well. I suspect that I will have lots of scar tissue, too.

So im 7 days post op and starting to slowly feel better. I still have my drain in and cant wait to get that removed on Friday. Im not having too much pain anymore- mostly at night when its harder for me to get comfortable. One thing Im surprised about is that Im TRULY not hungry. I remember after lapband surgery I was so freakin hungry like 4 days post op. I am getting tired of the clear liquid diet but i can manage another week. Im ready to move on to my regular Protein shakes that I can make with milk and looking forward to some sf pudding too!

Oh and Im down 11 lbs since surgery! YAY!

so glad to hear youre awesome news! yay!!! i love to hear it when someone is doing well! God Bless!!!
