October 15, 201213 yr Get surgery tomorrow. So nervous!!! Haven't been feeling good today. Totally freaking out
October 15, 201213 yr Hoping all goes well for you tomorrow! Keep us updated. I am 3 weeks behind you. Will look forward to joining you on the losers bench!
October 15, 201213 yr Oh, just take a deep breath and relax. I think we all had those feelings right before surgery and also feelings of 'what I have I done" right after but even 1 month out, I can honestly say, it has been a great thing for me. I am off all my meds for blood pressure, high cholesterol and insulin resistance. I am already feeling so much better (although there were some difficult days) and have already lost 30 pounds!!!!! Now, if you really want to back out, then go with your gut but you have already been through so much to get where you are. Know that I am thinking of you! Best wishes!
October 15, 201213 yr Oh don't back out!! For me it wasn't that bad I was surprised at how fast and easy my healing process was, I was back at work in 7 days! I'm 9 months now and hardly even remember getting the sugery! Its the best thing I have ever done for myself.
October 16, 201213 yr Im really considering backing out. Before you know it, your surgery will be over and your new live will begin. Just relax and don't stress:)
October 16, 201213 yr Don't back out & don't stress. You will be done before you know it & will be on your way to a new healthier you !Everyone gets nervous before surgery, thats only natural, you will be fine
October 18, 201213 yr I think you might regret that decision in the long run, but I wish you the best of luck.
October 18, 201213 yr There is a thread here that talks of lap band reversals into ventricle sleeve. You should look into it!
October 18, 201213 yr Author There is a thread here that talks of lap band reversals into ventricle sleeve. You should look into it! My surgeon told me that usually after lapband patients need the sleeve. I just dont feel comfortable yet having them remove so much of my stomach. I never had a surgery before. I know someone who has had lapband and she seems to be doing really well on it. Im just hoping for the best.
October 18, 201213 yr I hope so too! I can totally understand this is my first surgery and its terrifying. However it's something I need to do! The same with you! At least your taking some route to weight loss and that's what matters!
