Looking Sick After Band

The time for my banding is fasting approaching and I am getting a little nervous..... never been into hospital in my 41 years!!!

Okay here goes... some people after WLS lookpale and sick. I don't want to look sick.... Is it because they lose to fast and too much?

I want to look healthy. I am a big guy.... of course now I am a BIG GUY! But normally even in college I played football on the line. I am a big guy. So for me too get too small I would look sick...

HElP anyone what do you guys think... or girls.....

    <p><p>Well, mostly the sick lookingfolks are the bypass folks who lose DRAMATICALLY. As a guy, you are probably going to lose pretty quick, but if you keep your protein up and take vitamins religiously you should be fine.
