    Hi Everyone! I'm also getting banded 2/1! I'm excited, tough desicion but now I'm comfortable and ready. My surgeon is putting me on a 1 week liquid only before. I go this Friday for my pre op. As for telling people I am the same way. I have made my desicion and do not want to hear peoples opinions. I have told my closest circle and agree people who have not struggled with their weight won't understand.
  2. Another newbie... I scheduled my sx yesterday for 2/1. I have casually considered the lap band for over a year, did not consider seriously due to insurance will not cover but finally decided I am going to take the financial hit and know when I hit my goal it will have been worth every penny. I have struggled with my weight my entire life but am now at a high point, 25lbs heavier than what I weighed the day I delivered my son! I have been through a divorce with in the past 2 years and of course most women lose weight I gained about 50lbs. I am at the point where I am embarrased of myself, my weight consumes everything I do and holds me back from so much. I am trying to keep focused on the positive that will result from the sx. But I worry about struggling to accept that I can no longer enjoy /turn to food. I also have been debating about telling people. I have talked to my mom, sister and bf but not sure about sharing it with others. I know it will come out because I am a terrible liar and when people ask how I have done it I will just end up telling them. I dont think that people who have struggled with their weight this way will understand. So much going thru my mind, I just want 2/1 to get here!

    Excited, Scared, Confused!

    Thank you all for the support. I know I will rely on this site for information and support. one of my questions is around drinking, how do you drink so much Water all day and not throw it up? And is it true you can not drink 30 min before and after a meal? Sapcat - Good luck with your sx Monday. I will be looking forward to hearing how you are doing. Tricia
