Im so nervous!! Ive done well on my preop diet. I even went out with friends last night and watched them eat!! It was weird because I didn't even want it. Like I looked at the food and it didn't phase me. Ive lost about 20 pounds.. I can't wait to be banded and see how I progress. Everyone pray for me!! Ive never been put under before!:lol:

You did really well, going out and not eating! :cool: You should be proud of yourself.

I'm sure you'll be a band success story!

Good luck!

I've only had my band 2 weeks so I know exactly how you feel! My experience wasn't bad at all and I bet yours won't be either. Tell them that you're nervous when you get there. They are used to having patients who are nervous and hopefully they will make your experience less stressful. The days before it are much worse than going through the surgery itself.

BIG HUGS You can do it!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
