While in surgery Dr.Allison discovered I had a hiatal hernia which he fixed also..... having lots of pain on my chest but they said its because of the hernia! Dr is making me sleep over because of the pain, I am glad about that....looking forward to beautiful tomorrow....glad to be on the other side,

Hope all went well!!!!!

Thank you for sharing.....

I am on day 11 of my liquid diet and It has gotten easier for me......don't get me wrong I am hungry but at least my stomach doesn't make those horrible sounds.... I think it knows I am in starvation mode! I just can't wait for Tuesday to start this new journey of my life! I have been dreaming of this since July and it is days away...somebody pinch me!! I am down 14 pounds since I started the liquid diet and really hope to be down another 6.........wishful thinking. Thank you all for your post it really helps me know I am not alone! Wishing you all much success with our pre op....remember keep your eye on the prize!

What a joy to read everyone's story........nice to know I am not alone. I have had a weight problem all my life and am just so tired of being overweight! I decided to do LBS in July when a coworker who was getting gastric bypass told me our insurance covers it.....well here I am......I really did some soul searching and knew this was the help I needed. I am so thankful for this site and all the support that comes with it!

My date is Feb.5th and I can't wait!!!!!! I have been on my pre op diet since Tuesday....really hasn't been to to bad just at night my stomach makes crazy loud sounds....I just keep reminding myself to keep my eye on the prize!!!! Looking forward to shopping for clothes at regular stores.

I will have my surgery Feb. 5 th.....I am really excited to begin this journey! I go for my pre op lab and visit with surgeon on Monday,then start my 2 week diet on Tuesday . I am also like most of you mixed with emotions....like why do I need this? Why couldn't I do this on my own? Why did I inherit the big girl gene? Will I be successful? Believe me I have a trillion more!!!!!!! I do know that I am grateful for health insurance that covers this procedure...a wonderful husband and daughter that support me in my decision for lap band...and love this forum that is so informative . Wishing you all happiness with this amazing journey we are all about to discover this February !!!!!

I am actually here at my 4th (of6)appointment.I will be getting banded hopefully in January also..Looking forward to the beginning of the rest of my new life!!!!!

Can't wait til I say that in Jan13.....doing the 6 months pre op thing now. Good luck with everything !
