My surgery is Nov 7 , I'm getting panicky now thinking I don't know if I can go without eating some food after surgery and doing the liquid phases....

I'm starting to second guess the surgery now:((

Having this surgery isn't benefiting anyone but you and your health.

You'll probably have to cut your eating drastically, and begin exercising

if you don't already. This is a difficult thing to do and takes a big

commitment from you.There are lots of reasons why you can't lose

weight, but none of them will help you at all. If you look around at

people of normal weight and think you want to be one of them, then

you know what to do.

There is no malabsorption with the band! And being that Xanax is a small pill, you shouldn't have any issues with taking it. I suppose to be safe you could cut them in half before taking.

Push the negative feelings aside and think about something else. Anything positive. Maybe not related to the band so you don't fall back into panic mode......I have anxiety and take klonopin as needed as well and have been seeing a psychologist, who has been instrumental in helping me redirect my thoughts as soon as the "what ifs" creep into my head. DON'T WORRY! People do this EVERY DAY! :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
