  1. I have to agree....the band was a nightmare for me! Couldn't eat anything healthy....it came right back up! I was sleeved 7 weeks ago and it's getting better every day! So happy I was sleeved!
  2. Thank you so much for the well wishes. I'm one week post op now. I'm doing great, but have pain where port of the lap band was. I also have doubts as to whether I will REALLY lose weight. I didn't lose any with the band. Trying to be patient and be positive! Nigella

    I live in Dana Point, CA Would love to find a support group in OC!
  4. I'm here too!! I was in the hospital 4 nights...the pain was pretty bad. I guess because they had to take my band and port out. I'm home and feeling good now! I am sipping protein shakes (2 a day) and water. So far so good!
  5. Hi Tiffany...

    good luck to you...I am totally freaked out, but trying to stay calm! Nigella

  6. Thank you so much. I am so afraid....but just gotta do it! Good luck to you too!! Nigella

  7. Hi Stacey,

    Thanks for the well wishes. I am absolutely afraid of the surgery and recovery...but I'm doing it anyway. I really appreciate your support! Nigella

  8. I see my doctor tomorrow, but the surgery coordinator told me I didn't have to diet before surgery, just keep the calories around 1500. Nothing said about low carb....hummmm. She said I will be on a liquid diet for 2 days before surgery (Sat. and Sunday)...yikes....I'm afraid. I'm less excited and more fearful...I gotta get past this! :001_unsure:
  9. I'm SO happy to hear the good news. I'm going from band (hate it) to sleeve next Monday! I could not eat healthy food with the band...just came back up. Frustrated, I had no restriction for the last 3 years. I hope the sleeve is different!
  10. Me too!! I'm set for the sleeve on the 19th!! I'm SCARED!
