Hello Banders, My surgery is 4-28-10. My biggest fear is being nauseated and vomiting. :frown: Is this a daily occurance if you eat correctly and do not over eat? What exactly is PB and what causes it? How long did it take you to figure all of this out? Also, is it difficult at first to keep up your nutrition when returning to work. I need lots of brain power at the office and when I don't eat I can't think straight. The unknown is what is scary. I know its a learning process, but I don't want to feel sick. I look forward to your replies.

It does help. Thank you so much for the information!

I got a personal trainer 2 years ago. I was feeling awful from my weight. Aches and pains, etc. I lost 25 pounds from exercising and I feel so much better just from that. When you lose weight and exercise you will tone as you lose. It is hard, but get your head into it and you will be happy. I did!

Google Lapband Dr's in your area. Do lots of research online. Check the Dr. out with the Medical Board and make sure that the Dr. has lots and lots of experience with the procedure. Ask to speak to other patients they have banded and call them. You don't want a Dr. that hasn't done hundreds of procedures.

Hi, I am having my surgery on April 28th. I am just behind you. What are you doing pre-surgery regarding stockpiling food and liquid vitamins, etc?

I am glad to be of help. I have children your age and I always want the truth. You are doing a good thing for yourself!

Omg, I feel like I wrote the blog. I haven't had surgery yet, but most of my worries you expressed. The lifestyle change terrifies me. My life revolves around food. I love to cook and everyone loves my food. I won't want to cook if I cant eat it either. I just keep telling myself it should be worth it, right?

I think you are awesome, I don't give up my gym nights for anyone or anything. I have always put everyone else before myself and I decided that I would put myself first for a change. Your focus is very admirable!

The truth is always the best. They might flip at first, but you need their support. If you have the courage to do something to change things for the better, they should support you. I don't think you should lie, just tell them. Good luck.
