sooo....this long pre-op process of almost over...surgery date Feb.7th! i'm so ready for the new journey to begin. I can't stop eating this week, but I start Pre-op liquid diet this Monday.

I am scared to death of surgery day. Stupid me, watched the actual lap band surgery on the internet and now i'm freaking out. I have a lot of emotions...i'm scared about the surgery, I'm anxious all the time, i can't picture myself thin again, I am afraid I will miss eating food, I didn't tell people I was having surgery and I am so sick of the negative comments - i dont want people to ask how i am loosing weight. BUT I AM SOOOOO EXCITED and READY for this. LOOKING FOR SUPPORT COMMENTS. :)

Hi-

I am also being banded on 2/7. You post is as if I wrote it. I feel exactly the same way you do. I am excited, scared, anxious, etc. Since we are starting this journey together lets try to help and support each other. I know I will need help along the way. :blink:

This is an opportunity to finally do the right thing and take control of our health and wellbeing. We can do this...one day at a time.

We diserve this!

I hope you will stay in touch so we can share our triumphs and challenges!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Enjoy the day!

Hi Mel--

I am getting banded on 2/10 and can so totally relate to the questions/freak out moments right now! But everytime I start to freak out I keep my goal in mind and it's still more powerful than the doubts, maybe that will help you too?

Please be sure to keep me posted on how everything goes!!

Jen

      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.
