Recommended Posts

Hello all you fellow lap banders!

I have read many of your posts over the last couple of weeks and finally decided to join today! Seems like a great place for both support and to get answers from fellow lapbanders!

Well, I have to admit, my lapband surgery is tomorrow and Im finally scared. I've been so excited for so long and now Im scared. I know that's normal though as many of you have probably gone through that phase!

Wish me luck!

Hey Disneyland -

Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow! Post again when you can and let us know how you're doing.

You will find your weight loss fast in the beginning, then it will slow down, but don't get discouraged. You'll see from reading posts here that it's normal. Some people keep loosing fast, some don't, just remember that we're all different.

I had one week of a pre-op diet where I lost 10# and the rest has been seen by banding date, but I've included all in my weight loss ticker.

Just follow the eating plan that you're doctor gives you and try not to stray from it too much, and you'll be succesful! Best of luck!

Good luck tomorrow. Nerves are just part of having this procedure done. You wouldn't be normal if you didn't have atleast the slighest fear. I'm having mine done tomorrow also and I have little butterflies circling around in my tummy also. I'm sure everything will go just fine.

Best of luck to you!!

Hi Disney,

I am also getting banded tomorrow... and I am also nervous. I joined this site in June when I first starting looking into getting the band and I have to say it has been of great help. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to give their support.

Here is to us the up coming members of the August All Stars...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
