My Surgery is Friday and I'm kind of freaking out - mostly on the inside but none the less FREAKING OUT. What if I'm not ready - will I ever be ready if I'm not now. I'm fat and tired of being fat. So many emotions I need to know if everyone else goes through this???

You sound like me!! My family was nervous but the day came and I was ready to rock and roll. They nurse took my BP once I was taken back and it was normal, for me.. which is a little high but not bad due to my HBP meds... if I was nervous, I would have expected my BP to be high... the nurse was laughing at me because I kept asking when they were gonna take me to the OR and that I was ready to rock and roll... she said that most patients come in and they are nervous.. I wasn't nervous in the least...and I think that's because I KNEW this was the right decision for me...good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes!!

Good luck on tomorrow you will be fine. I was band on 11/12/09 and I am doing good I didn't have to have any pain meds. I was sore and it did hurt but it was nothing I couldn't handle. I started walking 1 mile the next day. When you get or feel like you need to burp just walk,rock, or the best thing I found was someone on here said to lean forward and the air will work it's way out. Belive me after the first day it does get better.Just hang in there. See you on the flip side!!!:thumbup:

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
