Hi from Los Angeles!

[Sarahd333 1]

Hey everyone! I just had my surgery 1/29/10. that night and the next morning i couldn't stop crying. i wanted it OUT. I'm getting used to it now but I'm a very anxious person by nature. I'm so nervous about slippage and erosion! AHHHH.

Anyway...

HI!

Hey Sarah, where in Los Angeles are you?

I think I was worried about all kinds of stuff before my surgery too, but once I started noticing changes it sort of passed.

This is a great place for support, so if you have any questions, or concerns, just come here, and someone will be there with encouragement, or whatever you need at the time. I've always believed that talking, or writing in this case, really helps!

Good luck!

Debbie

I didn't want my band OUT, but I definitely wondered if I'd made the right decision in the days after I had surgery. The feeling has subsided over time, though.

I'm from Pasadena initially but now im around Torrance :thumbup: IDK im a very emotional person and I always second guess everything. I'm very paranoid and constantly worried about complications

25# in under a month, I can see why your coming around to the band. Good job.

hahaha actually... i haven't lost any weight since the surgery. thats all pre-op. BUT I have lost fat...it's turned to muscle. I look a lot different, clothes fit better, I'm able to move better. but I just had my first fill today and I'm not hungry at all! I had no restriction this morning and now I don't even think about food! can't wait for my second fill since this one won't last!
