I had mine on 21st - also felt teary and anxious. Put some of it down to low blood sugar, some of it posdt anaesthetic blues, some of it down to fear both of what I had done and fear of the unknown. My way of dealing with it = just caring for myself and not having high expectations of what I can achieve for a couple of weeks.
Hey All,
I am from Puyallup, WA and I was banded 9 days ago, on April 18, 2011. I had my surgery done by Dr. Robert Michaelson out of North West Weight Loss Surgery (he operates out of the surgical center there, but my surgery was done at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland.)
I had my first follow up yesterday, and between the 7 days pre op liquid diet and 8 days post op, I am down 24.4lbs already. I have 195.6lbs left to go...and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm really looking for support from people who have been banded, because I am having some emotional issues. I have anxiety already, but it has gotten worse since surgery. I want to stay positive, but it is hard when I am crying and scared everyday. Any positive advice or words of wisdom?
