Hello everyone,

So lately my moods have been out of whack. I'm not sure if it's related to my lapband (I had it February 10th of this year) and I was recently talking to my boyfriend about the way I've been feeling lately (pain in chest, little vomiting). He completely disagrees with me having it and starts mentioning "that's why there's a gym, why couldn't you do it naturally" Honestly, that put me in the worst mood ever. I decided to do this surgery because nothing I did previously was working. Now I'm beginning to question myself, like what if there was something else I could have done...

sorry, just venting

Don't regret this. It's going to change things for the best. My emotions have been crazy too... I had my lap band in March and only have lost 20 pounds... I wish i could lose more. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Sounds like you need a better support system to me. My wife wasn't all for me doing this but, she knew how much I wanted to go thru with it and she has been my biggest supporter yet! (Even writing "I love you" notes in my weight diary. If he can't be on board and support you it's time to reevaluate things.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
