Missfae- congrats and keep feeling better...much success!

Please post after you had your first water' date=' how much could u handle, did it hurt to swallow? Please keep us posted[/quote']

I am done with all my tests and just need to pee on my own, walk a bit and wait for discharge instructions. It's interesting, the swallow test. I have to drink, though a straw, a full cup of the gagging liquid. I went back to my room and after they determined no leaks, I had my first sip of real water at 11am (ET). HEAVEN! But I can only drink a medicine cup full of water every 20 mins. In other words drinking so much liquid AND through a straw are huge no-nos when starting on regular liquids lol.

My surgery is scheduled for March 14th. I am really getting nervous now. I am a very anxious person anyway. Does anybody else feel this way? And most people around me, besides my husband are really discouraging me, especially my sister. She says she just worries. Okay am I gonna die or something? I know there is risks, but I need some encouragement now Please!!!

Thanks MissFae! I had to drink that stuff (barium) after my lapband and it does make you gag. When u drank the water, did you FEEL like you could have swallowed more then they allowed? Glad you're doing to well and thanks for the updates, plz keep them coming

Hi Aunm- everyone will worry (moms, dads, sisters, brothers) it's mostly concern. I'm scheduled for the 19th and I'm a wreck, but I'm moving forward. I had the lapband yrs ago and felt this way too. Me typing this to you is reinforcing my courage . You can't please everyone, but you have to please yourself and live a happier better quality of life. You will be fine and successful!

I get my surgery done tomorrow morning. I'm beginning to get very nervous. It does not help that the weather is supposed to get really bad tonight into the morning and it might be a difficult commute! I'm so nervous
