Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for April 9th & am very nervous. I think I'm more afraid and nervous about the liquid diet portion rather than the surgery itself. HOw did everyone cope w/ having to run a household and have surgery.. :faint:

hi! Welcome to LBT!!! There is a great April 07 bandsters group going. You can find them if you do a search under April---it is called April 2007, head start on spring...or something like that! They are a really supportive group, and one you will enjoy having pre surgery to help ease the jitters together, and post surgery, to chat with, compare, and commiserate, the post op diet, and all the other issues you are concerned about. All of you going through it around the same time, makes it so nice!!! I totally enjoy my April 2006 group for that reason!!

It was a fairly simple surgery in my opinion, but every one is different of course. I took it wasy, for a few days, but by no means was sitting in bed---I was up, doing minor things around the house, cooking, went shopping etc. Not a big deal!

Liquids for the extended time---is not fun---but we all did it, and survived it. Although at times, you swear you won't....that is when having all your April buddies dealing with it too will help you!

Hang in there, look up the group---and soon you will be in bandland!!!

I'm coping with the hope of being thinner and more able to keep up with my life!!

I'm getting mine April 12 and I'm thinking the same thing! I'm actually stressing more about the 3 pre-op liquid diet days!
