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!

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?

I will be having my surgery on Nov 8! Can't wait!

You're so close! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

As long as there are no more hoops to jump through! They do have a week to put more obstacles in my way! I went yesterday and the doctor decided I needed cardiac clearance before surgery! I was lucky enough to find a cardiologist that could get me in today! I got cleared!!

I am so close I'm not going to let them stop me!

I totally understand that feeling! I had to go to monthly appointments for 6 months before my insurance would approve the surgery. I kept saying I wouldn't believe it was happening until it happened. Surgery day I was in my gown and all and still said I wouldn't believe it until it happened. It seems like when you want something really bad, there's a lot of obstacles. But you only have one more week and it WILL happen!

My journey has ended up being 6-7mo instead of the original 4mo

Good luck!

At least you're near the end! Nothing can stop you now!
