I am right there with you:help: i cant get rid of this HUGE fear.

was anyone else scared of dying from the general anesthsia? for some reason i am terrified! also do they intubate you?

what does the diet that you are supposed to be on about 2 weeks before the surgery to shrink your liver consist of? I heard its all liquids but exactly what did you have to do? Im thinkin i can start it now, im waiting for my initial visit.

GREAT ideas would be very helpful. i have tried calorie counting on my own to lose weight and i suck at it lol i stop tracking my calories. But i am bound and determined to do it.:whoo:

well thats a great compliment:clap2: so you didnt need to do an all liquid diet then?

Im sure you will do great. I am nervous also and i dont have my surgery scheduled lol im still waitng on mu intial visit. I have alot or worrys...like will i wake up from the anesthesia? stupid worrys that im sure i will be fine. and you will be to!

In the hospital for your surgery? How many days?

i was wondering after the lap band can you sleep on your stomach? I am a major tummy sleeper... also whats the diet consist of that you are supposed to be on about 2 weeks before your surgery and does it really help you lose weight. cuz if so couldnt i just keep up with that diet instead?

well glad to hear i can sleep on my tummy again!! Thanks for the answers. oh man the thought of a liquid only diet.....:help: lol

wow thats great!

My name is chasity and i have two daughters. One 7 yr old and one 11 mth old and i am married to there father. I just want to reintroduce myself cuz my last intro was short. I am considering the lap band becasue i am severly overweight. i already sent in my paperwork today, I am waiting for them to call me when they recieve it to make an appt for my intial office visit. I am scared and excited at the same time. I have alot of worrys. I am 23 yrs old and currently weigh 309 pounds. Im 5 foot 3 and my BMI is 54. YIKES!!! anyways im glad i found this forum.

I am actually goin to the same doc you had urs done by. How is he??

I live in kent. over by seattle!

thank you so much for making me feel welcome:)

what kind of med do they give you so they can do the lap band surgery? (like i had a spinal for my csection) and do you go to sleep or are you awake?

completely asleep?? Theres no chance that i wont wake up right? Im sorry if these questions are dumb but im just curious

Does it hurt when they fill up the lap band threw the port?

This might be a really stupid ? but im terrified of it :omg:lol. Do you guys know if anyone has died after going threw the surgery for a lapband?

thank you guys so much for your input. i just need to stop worrying and get it done. i have been wanting it for so long. im just sad that i let it come to this,

wow that really sucks! im just scared of something going wrong adn thats y i havent got it done yet... its not really invasive tho right? i have had 2 csections and i have heard those are more hurtful....

I am actually terrified of doing this. so thats y i need to come here and read about others who have done it and how they have succeeded
