Hi Everyone

I have my surgery booked for May 14th and am very scared and nervous

Hello all! This is my first and definitely not my last post.....I got my surgery date last week for May 15th (God willing)!!! I'm in Chicago and going through Mercy Hospital, Dr. Rosett is my surgeon. Honestly, Im sick and tired of being overweight. I lose then gain then lose then gain 2x.

I have my psyche appt tomorrow and then the dr appt the week after. I've started my not so fun diet because I have to lose 8-10 lbs prior to the surgery and 2 wks before the surgery I have to do the liquid (slim fast) diet. Im so excited about finally being able to break out of this "jail"!!!!

Hi there Foxxy

Hi Guys

Im getted banded on May 14th

:rolleyes2:

My doctor has told me to be on my pre op diet for two weeks before surgery

Optifast shake for Breakfast

optifast shake for lunch

lean meat and veg or salad for dinner

plus maximum 2 pieces of fruit for snaks during the day

Im getting a bit worried after reading everyone elses diets, think I may be having too much:ohmy:

Im going to start the diet a week early. Have already lost almost 10kg since last appointment with surgeon :crying:

Hi Everyone,

Firstly i'd love to say thankyou to all those people that have written stories about their surgey days, you have no idea how helpful they have been to me. I was scared out of my wit that I am going to die, but after reding about 50 or so stories I feel so much better, I finf myself in tears at night wrrying that I am going to die and leave my husnband and beautiful 6 year old boy alone without me :crying:

I am a big cry baby as it is, the thought opf going to hosptial is scaring me so much. I have never had an operatio before, but Im going to be brave, well try to anyway :laugh:

Its 27 days till my surgery date, I am booked in on may 14th at the Ashford Hospital in Adelaide, with one of the best docotors in Australia.......I dont know why on earth Im worrying....My docotor told me to go on the liqud diet (Optifast) for two weeks prior to my surgery date as he wants me to lose about 3kg before I go under.... I thought I would be a good girl and cut out all the crappy food and softdrinks. and yipeee Ive lost almost 10kg so Im on my way :crying:

Anyway I will stop babbling on and on :rolleyes2:

Hi Everyone,

After a long time of considering getting the lap band I have finally deided YEP Im off and away. Am being banded on May 14th and a little frightened as Ive never had surgery before (am really scared of dying ) I have been reading a number of posts on the forum everyone seems so caring of one another its great to know that people are out there that care :cool2:

I have to lose a fair bit of weight, I know its going to take a while but Im so excited about it aswell. The thought of losing weight is just (oh my god Im lost for words)

Hope to get to know everyone!!!

Trish :thumbup:
