Hi I am new to the site and feeling pretty nervous as surgery for my lap band is at 8am tommorow the 4th August. I am from Kent in England and all your posts have been a great help to me, but I stilll cannot wait for it to be over.

Good luck to any body else who has surgery tommorow would love to hear from you.

Good luck with your surgery. I was really anxious beforehand but really the odds are on your side. If you feel anxious close your eyes and slowly count backwards from 100... really helps calm the nerves.

My surgergy is on August 5th, and I, too, am very nervous. I keep second-guessing whether I'm doing the right thing, but I know in my heart that it is the right thing, because I'm not living a quality life right now because of the weight. Good luck to you, I'm sure it will be fine - we'll get through this!:teeth_smile:

Thanks for all your replies and messages of support the world feels a lot smaller when you get support from the otherside of the world as well as the UK. You are right we all in it together!

Thank you all you have made me feel positive again!:biggrin:

I know what you're going through. My surgery is scheduled for Aug. 7th. It seems like the days a draaaagging along.

Just try to keep yourself busy. Hang out with friends, or go for walks. It does help. Good luck. I know you'lle be fine.:biggrin:

I was nervous too, even to the point of crying and telling my husband I wanted to leave when they were ready to take me to surgery. But I am so glad he wouldn't let me go,lol. It is worth all this and you can laugh about all this torment later like I am.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
