7 months ago I got together with my support team and decided that I wanted to loose 100lbs before my surgery. I didn't have a surgery date yet and was just working on that goal and waiting for insurance and stuff to get situated. Then they told me that my pre op is the 6th and my op is the 7th! I went in for my final goal weigh in and I've lost 118 lbs in 7 months! I'm so excited to get this done and be on my way to even more body changes and new experiences!

I was nervous last night and called a friend about my upcoming surgery on the 7th. She put me down , made me feel horrible, and tried to talk me out of the surgery. I'm getting the lap band. She herself has gotten a gastric bypass in '79 and she ate though it. She keeps telling me that its not worth my time because I'm just going to fail. I should have hung up but for some reason I listened to her for an hour and a half. I feel I can make this band work for me and I'm going to loose weight and get better, healthy. Get my life back!

I'm going to do it! No way am I going to fail! I'm to stubborn for that lol. Thanks for all the encouraging words guys it helps a lot to know that other people went through that situation and that you all stood strong agents the negativity. I will stand strong! Thanks for the encouragement!

Six more days till surgery I'm so excited I could burst! My kids are a little nervousness thanks to my sister and that kinda burned my bubble a bit… but am still really proud of myself and excited!

A

I'm so glad your feeling ok and all went well ! Please let me know how it goes for you on your journey I'm really interested to find out what I have to look forward to! Good luck over the next few days and tell those hiccups to leave you alone! Lol

How are you guys doing ? How was the surgery?!

Congrats!!! How exciting!! Let us know how everything goes!

I go a couple days after you ! Please please keep us posted I'm she scared on what to expect!

I have no idea. I'm new to this site. But I am interested in knowing as well!

So excited for everyone to get started on the new year with successful lap bands and new healthy lives! Good for us for working towards this goal and achieving it!! I hope we are all ecstatic with ourselves and our new bodies and healthy habits a year from now, and with that may it bring self confidence, self esteem, and assurance that we can all be a little more comfortable in our own skins! Happy Holidays to you all!

My doctor doesn't have me on a pre op diet. I. Have my pre op visit the 6 th and surgery the 7th. But I have lost 106lbs in the last 6 months. I really worked my tookus off to get that done.

Mines on the 7th as well!!!

I'm very determined and excited to work my way down to my goal weight. I didn't think I had weight issues until I was 15. That's when I started to get picked on and laughed at. I am going to take this challenge on and accomplish it!!!

My kids are more than ready! They can't wait! They are so excited for it I think they may burst this year!

* long distance high fives*

How exciting !!! Yay!! I'm excited for you!

My real sister is like this also. We were living together and when I started setting my goals and achieving them she just turned mean. Not only to me but to my son and daughter as well. I have separated myself from her a bit and am still very supportive of everything she does and achieves, and just don't let it stand out to me as much when she spouts the poopies from her mouth when I do something great like achieving a goal or dropping 3 lbs this week. I surround myself with people who support me and can handle a fifty fifty relationship. It's hard but you just have to tell yourself, am I important to myself? If I am then I'm worth the energetic support that is going to push me towards my next goal as not make me feel disappointed in a relationship that's maybe being held at a standstill just to derail me.

Good luck everyone!!

I'm doing the lap band. Have lost 106 lbs pre op! Can't wait for this tool!

My pre op is on the morning of the 6 th of January and my operation is on the morning of the 7th of January. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight of the 6 th.

My Dr. Doesn't have me on any kind of diet or fast before my surgery. Is that weird?

Hi I'm 33 have two children. Girl , 13 and boy, 12 im getting my band on January 7th 10:30am.

It's been a long four and a half year beat down fight with the hospital and finally got them to turn over my papers to insurance and was accepted for surgery!! My operation date is set for January 6th at 10:30 and am very psyched!!

Called my surgeons office and asked all the questions I wanted to know. Feel so much more relaxed than yesterday
