Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and go in for my lapband surgery in about 3 hours(ahh!!). I am getting scared about the actual surgery but I'm so happy to finally be getting this. I have been overweight my whole life and always struggled to lose. If anyone has any good advice or just some words of wisdom, I would greatly appreciate it. Take care!

Relax sweetie! Nothing to worry about! You will do great, see you on the bandside!

Big Hug!

Thank you Kitt! I'm so nervous but hopefully it will come and go quickly! {{hug}}

How are you doing?

To be honest, I'm struggling. My stomach feels upset and my chest hurts like something is stuck. I had to call the nurse practitioner last night and she called in something for nausea. But I'm just over-all miserable I hope it will pass.

Thank you so much. I can't wait to get this feeling out of my chest. The gas-x doesn't help and I just don't know what else to do :-/

I've tried warm fluids but they didn't help much. Thankfully this morning I'm feeling better. I sure hope the worst is behind me! When do you go for your surgery?
