Starting to regret my decision...
bandedjen replied to Herraven's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh I was there about a week and a half ago! I was MISERABLE. Felt nauseated by everything, sore, the gas pains oh my gosh. And I had neck and shoulder pain and was starving. TOTALLY understand! I swear to god it will get better and you WILL feel like a human again. I felt the same way and wanted this stinking thing out but I turned a corner about 5 days after surgery..you will too!!! You can do it! -

Did you tell anyone or ????
bandedjen replied to extraonme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow I feel like I could have written your post. I ended up telling pretty much everyone in my office, they have all been supportive thankfully. My weight loss has slowed tons and now some days im even 2 lbs higher (im sure this is water weight but it still bugs me) People do ask a lot how much so i feel embarassed when it's not a lot! -
Friend trying to be supportive but admitted she didn't want me having surgery
bandedjen replied to MustangKitten's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I first started looking into the surgery my mom was very apprehensive and did not want me to do it at all. My brother was even more opposed. I dragged my mom to my seminar and all appointments and then she started coming around because she learned more about it and the FACTS that this is the best bet to lose the weight. Even my bro has come around. Now post op they are all very supportive! -
