val144 0 Posted August 27, 2011 They postponed me, my surgery, I mean, due to my un resolved irregular heartbeat, my doc thinks its medicine related, i dont know, but I go for more tests on Aug 31 and for my follow up with the surgeon on Sept 7, if all is clear, he will put me back on his schedule.

Rob Roy 0 Posted August 27, 2011 I can sympathize. I have had second thoughts many times. I could have come up with many reasons/excuses to withdraw from the program. It has taken much too long and has not gone smooothly but just a few more days to go. Ready to move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobrocky 8 Posted August 27, 2011 I'm almost 2 weeks out and I just want to say that it's been way easier than I had expected. The surgery isn't painful. Incisions never hurt. The gas was managed well. Listened to everybody saying on this forum to walk, so I did, and it really helped. I get to eat mushiess on Tuesday. Can't wait.

Sleeeved4Me 0 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm a nurse too (30 years) and really have few reservations about the band. I clearly have not maintained a healthy weight or loss for a very long time so I clearly need some help. I want to live long enough to worry about 80 years old and 'banded' so I'm moving forward on 9/9! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
