Jeannette welsh

I had the lap band...and my stomach kept protruding up through the band. First time, I was completely blocked...when I went to the hospital, they told me I had absolutely minimal traces of potassium in my body... The IV to replace it was so painful... The band was "fixed"...and then the port flipped...got that "fixed"... Then got totally blocked again...so they removed the band due to stomach erosion...its been out for a few years now...and I gained back the 80 I lost, and another 30 ... The band was horrible for me! I'm having RNY done next Wednesday 4/3! Scared as heck...! Please pray for a good surgery for me (and everyone else!)....

Your not crazy! I feel the same way!

Good luck! I'm counting down! One week and 14 hours for me!

North east, PA..having surgery though at Morristown memorial In NJ on Apr 3

Sitting waiting to get my pre admissions blood work done..just registered with the hospital. Wow....this is getting real! What a range of emotions... But all I think about to stop the nerves is how good i'm going to look and feel at the next company Christmas party!

That sounds delicious! I was thinking about the vitamaster, which seems to keep the pulp and fiber in the juice.. I really want to be sure to get all the veggies in every day. V8 cooks out the enzymes, but I think would be good if I get lazy a couple days a week. V8 is really good too for potassium...the low sodium one is good too

Just got a call from the hospital pre-admissions... I am all set to go for April 3! My deductibles have already been met! I am going for blood work on Thursday .. All I have to do now is show up! I'm still scared...really scared... But i'm ready to take this leap of faith.

Jer-z-girl where are you having your procedure? mine will be done in new Jersey...

Thanks for adding me! Lots if great info on here

I am scheduled for April 3...and now i'm starting to get nervous...
