This time next week I'll be in pre-op.

I'm really getting nervous!

Will I feel band and port inside me every minute?

Will I ever do the whole circuit at Curves again?

Will I gurgle when I drink ~ and will everyone in the room hear it?

I can feel the port if I press around and feel for it, i couldnt at first but now that Ive lost over 60 pounds there is less fat covering up the port.

Forget curves baby.......lots of us are now running and some are training for marathons and triathalons........I m sure anything Curves has to offer will be a breeze!

If i drink too fast it seems to create some kind of air bubble and I feel like burping, I probably have a weird expression on my face when it happens. When I take sips like I am supposed to....no problems.

Good luck on this fabulous journey

You are going to do fantastically

Thanks Michee!

Still excited and nervous! Curves Lady recommended I take a month off and just walk the dogs while I wait for my Dr's blessing to resume the resistance exercises.

Woo hoo, gas pain - here I come! :tt2:

tupi, opps, I mean, typos!

Funny, walking my crazy energetic dog is more of a workout than one would think!!

I recently bought a leash that goes around my waist. (and it fits with the belt on the middle hole) so that I can run with my dog.

I took a month off from the gym too, just to make sure everything was healed. Check out mapmyrun.com you can design a good dog walking route from your house or wherever. I started with a 3.5k route post surgery.

Good luck. You are gonna do great.

PS buy the gasx strips that dissolve in your mouth, they help with the gas pains.

The only time I can feel the band is when I eat too fast or take too large a bite. Then it kind of gives you a "warning hurt" that you learn to pay attention to really fast. I can feel my port if I press down on it but it doesn't bother me.
