Recommended Posts

So I finally got my date of the surgery Sept 29th 2010

I WAS excited,now i'm worried about every little thing.My husband is beyond supportive.The worrying made me cheat on the liquid diet.I haven't had anything to unhealthy like a nice piece of cheesecake or anything but i have had like beef Jerky, chicken, oh and someday i did have a churro, which made me sick.I'm trying again tomorrow with positive thoughts, i have to find something new and fun to do to keep my mind off of food.My husband being away is another thing that makes me depressed, its so much easier when he's right here,he will be coming home to a new woman in Dec hopefully he's home sooner.Military life.. geez

It's great to have somewhere to go and express how i'm really doing instead of pretending i'm always fine

My husband wants me to Tape My journey and youtube it but i don't think so... WELL HMM MAYBE LOL

ANYWAYS I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING GREAT :thumbup:

I too am a cheater. I am supposed to be on Optifast for a week. I lasted 2 days. My mind is now in 'eat what you can before its too late' mode. How sad is that? I am being banded in 3 days. Its not a good start but I guess if I could stick to a diet, I wouldn't need a band.

It sounds like you have been a lot better than me. Don't beat yourself up about it. When you get your band things will change. Good luck to you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
