Excited... surgery in a few days.



Recommended Posts

Well, I have finally gotten to a lap band just around the corner. I have my surgery scheduled on 8-26-08. I am a bit nervous, as well as excited. I have been consuming Medifast for the past 5 days and have 2 more days to go... I've had just about enough reconstituted powder 'food' to last a lifetime :smile:. Of course I've had all the sugar-free popsicles, chicken broth, and flavored water that a girl could dream of.... oh boy :biggrin:. So, just as the dietician said, I AM looking forward to pureed food :thumbup:.

I feel as though my doc's office has prepared me well with alot of pre-op education. I am seeing Dr. Trace Curry in Cincinnati. Luckily, I work in surgery, so I know what to expect :biggrin2:......and........Unluckily, I work in surgery, so I know what to expect :crying:.

I have been browsing for a website to help me get through this process of losing my excess weight without the weightloss including my mind. I'm glad I have found this one and look forward to reading and writing as I go this life changing decision.

I do have a question... how do you guys have those weight/BMI trackers at the bottom of your postings, I like 'em and wanna get me one :thumbup:.

Hey there, congrats on your band. I just had my done on the 21st and I must say it's a challenge, but well worth it! You asked about the ticker here's the website where I got mine from. Weight Loss - Diet Ticker

One more piece of advice that I'm sure you already know, but still I had it stressed to me over and over again... As soon as you can WALK, WALK, WALK.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey!:biggrin:

No way! I am being banded by Dr. Curry on the 26th as well! What time is your surgery? I am at 7:30AM. Maybe we will be in the waiting room together. That is too weird!

Wow.... mine is scheduled at 8:30am. I expect we will see one another. My name is Anna. I'm looking forward to it more and more as each moment passes. I wish you the best and look forward to probably seeing you.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
