I am having my lap band surgery in 16 days. I am getting a little worried. I know this is what I want to do and I know that all change is hard. Any words of support would be great.

:rolleyes2:

It is an awesome tool if you're committed to a lifestyle change. A properly adjusted band combined with exercise and eating reasonably will shed your unwanted fat slowly but surely.

Good luck!

I felt the same way before my lap band. Its normal to feel worried..it still IS a surgery. The morning of I was shaking..I never had any kind of surgery before. But my dr was there before I went under and he calmed me a lot. Talk to him to let him ease even up to that very minute. Its over and ur awake before u know it and the rest of the day is the easy part..bc ur on pain meds..lol. But don't worry its over before u kno it. Comes and goes fast. You"ll be fine. Also..reading success stories on this site helps a lot too. Everyone here really helped ease my jitters. Can't wait to hear all about ur surgery when its over and see the new you! Cheers

It really is normal to worry, it's surgery after all. The fact is you are doing something great for yourself. Just relax, follow doctors orders and you will do great!

You deserve to be healthy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
