Exited and nervous!



Recommended Posts

I started my journey in December 2013, I received my approval phone call on Feb 6, 2014. I have set my date for March 26! I am very excited! Wasn't nervous at first but now that I know I can actually have the surgery, the butterflies are starting! Hope I can do this! Some people think the lapband are for cheaters that want an "easy" quick fix! But little do they know!! But I'm ready for the challenge! Looking forward to better health and finding cute clothes on the clearance rack! Good luck to all! (sorry title should be EXCITED!) couldn't figure out how to change!

Congrats!! I just found out a few days ago that my surgery date will be February 18th so I'm in the same boat, all full of butterflies and excitement! It's a great feeling knowing that you're taking control of your life and getting healthy and not looking back isn't it? :D

I am scheduled for this Monday, 10 February and only got approved about two weeks ago. I know what you mean about the excitement and I'm just glad I had a short time to wait after I was approved. Good luck to you!

Blissfullybanded your count down begins! How is the preop diet going? Really wish I could do mine sooner but I'm a teacher and don't want to use a lot of my days so I'm working around our spring break schedule. Best of luck to you!

Hey All! I'm having mine done 3/25! I was supposed to have it done last year and found out I was pregnant while meeting with anastesia the day of surgery. So here I am a year later & 1 more baby that has completed our family & making this happen again. Started the liquid diet today & am nervous & excited!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
