November bandsters unite!!
wakeuprn replied to topazz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is November 22nd and I am excited about the surgery but not the pre-surgery diet. I am only taking one week off afterward....I hope that is enough time to recover and get back to my regular routine. Does anyone have any idea how to hide the pre-op diet from co-workers? I am not ready to share with them. -
just got banded on the 2oth of Oct

Yikes, I am being banded 11-22 and I was only planning on 1 week off. I have read differing things about recovery. I saw where some people were back to work after 3 days. My doctor said most people take 3-5 days off, but he said that I could be off up to 2 weeks if I wanted it. I am really worried about the gas pains after. Besides walking, is there anything else that you can do to decrease it? -
Restriction before first fill?

So a fill isn't necessary for weight loss? -
I am scheduled for November 22. I was looking forward to getting my band but my mom mentioned today that a friend of hers was getting her band out. Long story short, I am now worried about it not working. I feel like I have researched the surgery enough to make a good decision. Anyone else been here?:blushing:

anyone worried it won't work?

Thanks for the encouragement! I know that my habits HAVE to change and I did not get like this overnight. I am excited to lose this weight and feel better. It is good to hear that these fears are normal. I really haven't told many people about the surgery because I don't want to hear all the horror stories :huh2:.
