I have not told many people either. Its just hard because I already feel a certain kind of way being overweight and I don't need extra stress of people judging me. Only my husband in a few of my close family members know

I have a friend who is doing the sleeve and to me I was worried that it would stretch easier and there is no adjusting it..

It seems my doctor is totally different from what I've read about others... No preop dieting and he told me wants I get to the regular food phase that he wants me to eat whatever I want up to 800 calories a day and no eating yogurt and Protein Shakes after the liquid phase?

I'm nervous only cause of the stories I've heard about the port sticking out or being painful.

I'm not I rely worries about the port sticking out but pain is definitely a consideration. I only have a week off work and need to be well enough to run around a flooring store all day. It should be okay. I had a breast reduction a few years ago (tmi?) and went back a week later

*should have proof read...not really worried

Ok I'm not the only one who is days away from surgery and still feels a little unsure! That makes me feel better! If my insurance would cover a breast reduction- I would get one in a heartbeat! That is one thing I'm hoping is that I lose some of the boobage! A life long dream/goal of mine is to be able to buy a bra that fits from Victoria Secrets! Or even a cheap one from Target! I'm tired of the Lane Bryant ones!

We should start a fb August Bands 2015 group! A secret/closed group of course! ????

If you start it, I will join it! I could really use some friends in the same boat as me that I can talk to about all this before and after the surgery.

I'm not too worried about recovery. That's one of the reasons I chose the lapband. I talked to my surgeon today about the port. We talked about a couple different places he could place it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
