Is anyone keeping their surgery a secret?
Erin18 replied to Dreamjeans's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm keeping mine a secret only my mom and dad knows, my mom is getting it too. My older brother (24) would try to talk us out of it and he would tell us it's stupid. Can't tell my friends because they wouldn't be supportive of it and probably think it's stupid as well. I don't know if I'm going to keep it a secret after I get the surgery or not. But as of now it will be -

Hi peoples. So after this tuesday i have two more appointments to go til i find out about a surgery date..(hope my insurence approves..they covered every thing else by the way) can i ask a few questions? ok if you do all the exercising you're supposed to, will you have a lot of excess skin? that kind of scares me a little bit, because i dont think my insurence would cover for surgery to get it removed..anyways, im getting 2 new piercings(no comments) for my birthday, and they should be healed by the time of surgery date. will i most likely be able to put retainers in them? so i wont have to worrie about them closing up. ill ask my dr. how do you guys feel when you got banded, do you think its the best thing thats happened to you? sorry about it being long, im just still a lil nervous anyways take care peeps =]

awh, thanks=] you are too. yeah id like to find more people my age as well =), so whats up?

hey, i am going on this journey as well, i go back to see the doc. this week on the 13th. This will be my 3rd time seeing them. last month i did the testings and they consisted of; *Blood work and urinalysis *Chest Xrays *Abdominal Ultra Sound *Tested the lungs and the heart i also talked to the nutrisionist and the exercising trainer i hope i get the surgery in December after my birthday, or jan/feb, anyways, goodluck! (:

so i had an evaluation appt. in sept. and now im going to this appt. where there is 10 diff. appts. today i have to be on a fat free diet, and i cant eat or drink anything after 12am, i think they're doin blood work, i know they're doin and ultra sound thing, and run a tredmil, and a bunch of other things, but the real question is, what comes after this appt. i really am curious, did anyone else have an appt. like this?:biggrin:
-
oh man, that stinks =/, so i went there today (to get the tests done) what they did was,1. blood test, 2. nutritionist, 3. physical therapy? well they went over body mass, bmi, and excerizing tips, 4.Went to a part where they checked my heart and lungs, 5. image screening; ultra sound, and chest extray..the nutritionist gave me a "Adjustable Gastric Banding Surgery: Nutrition Guidelines) it explains the meal plan for the lap band what you should eat before, prior, and after sugery. I dont know if you got a packet like that, But yeah I have to make an appointment to go back to get my results, the nutritionist said ill be seeing her two more times before surgery i think and the one for the exercising said she hopes shes sees me before surgery. so im hoping my surgery date is somewhere at the end of december to the begining of jan or the end of jan or even at the end of feb, will find out eventually! good luck =D
-
when did you know you're getting the surgery? is the appointment im going to tomorrow another evaluation? cuz the first appointment i had was with the surgeon...im confused haha
