Hi YummieT,

My name is Jean and I am in the process of getting banded. I just got my surgery date today, I'm scheduled for surgery on 09/04. Like you, I am a bundle of nerves! I'm really excited but I'm scared too. I'm sure the roller coaster ride will only get worse the closer I get to my surgery date.

Anyway, if you're close to Greensboro, you can try Central Carolina Surgery. They have been great working ih me through this whole process and I really like my Dr- his name is Dr. Newman. The phone number to CCS is 336-387-8100.

Take care and good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.

Just relax and be optimistic. I was banded the 16th of this month and I feel great. The pounds are dropping and no depression. I was banded in Mexico and haven't yet tried to find someone for fills, but there are a lot of doctors here in Michigan. Are you going to Mexico? Who is doing your surgery? Dr. Ortiz did mine and it was first class all the way.

I have had no problems sleeping. I took a pain pill the first night at the hotel so I could sleep but didn't really need it. Believe it or not, I am not hungry. It is all I can do to eat. I told my daughter I could make a good anorexic. I love the fact that I am losing and want to keep on losing. Any way I can. This has been such a positive move for me. Haven't hit any snags yet.

Hi yummieT, Good luck with your banding on Monday. I know you'll do just fine. I was banded on the 17th of this month and am doing great. I'm having a bit of a problem getting in all of my Protein, but as far as the surgery, and healing and all that, I"m doing great! I've lost 26 pounds and am not hungry. If you have any specific questions, you can always contact me. I don't live in NC, but I could try to help. Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
