Hello I was banded July 2nd and have lost 30 pounds 17 pre 13 post call me crazy but I'm not sure of this hole thing before the operation I looked at everything lapband and thought this is for me know I'm reading all about slipping and all the negitive I almost feel as if I should stop looking on line but I keep comming back maybe I'm crazy or maybe this is normal I don't know please help

i was banded 12 days ago and felt the same way,i even had panic attacks thinkin i had done something terrible and that i wanted it out! I will just say that i am 100% happy with it now, i think our brains go through some kinda panic thing

and congrats on your weight loss! 30 LBS is great!

Congrats on your weight loss! One thing is for certain, that excess weight will have health consequences. The slippage, etc are only a risk not a certainty. I try and stay away from threads that depress or scare me since I am recently banded also.

Good luck!

Exactly whats done is done:thumbup: just take care of yourself and follow your surgeons instructions

I have had the same thoughts. They don't call it major surgery for nothin'. :biggrin: Anyway, I think some of it is normal, we are mourning our loss of food and the changes in our bodies is dramatic at this point. My strength hasn't come back completely yet either so that has been a huge factor. I think after a while those feelings will disapate and the worrying about the 'what if's' will end.

I am so sorry you feel this way, but it will end. PROMISE!! I cried the entire time drive home from hospital after surgery...and now I cry when I do something that I haven't done in a long long time due to being too fat. You will feel better about, hang in there!!

Good for u & keep up the good work.... I am being banded on Monday...I am excited and really nervous...

that people tend to post when they are having issues. Folks that are just having a great day are usually doing just that, out having a great day!
