I've got a Date with a Lap-Band!



Recommended Posts

Well today it finally happened. I was given my date for my lap band surgery.

Finally after all the years of shopping for whatever fit me then shopping for what I wanted.

Finally after all the years of standing behind in a photo to hide instead of up front.

Finally after all the years of food being in control of me, I will be in control of my food.

In a little over a month everything that has always been in front of me will be behind me....way behind.

Wish me luck!

Congratulations, JoJoLYC! I'm a 'newbie' too - I joined the forum 2 years ago, but only now had the courage to book my surgery and start making the changes my body has been so desperately craving.

My surgery is December 18th. So I'm just a few weeks ahead of you. Hey - we can keep each other posted on how we're doing!

Way to go!

That was my surgery date as well. I'll be two years out on the 14th. Wishing you as much success as I've had.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
