Newbie... Surgery Scheduled For 5/2... Nervous!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new here and I guess I'm a little nervous. I started my research on the lap band about a year ago and I kept talking myself out of doing it, I guess I wasn't ready to let go of my very comfortable carb loving life... Finally 12 months later I made the right decision and am now scheduled for surgery on May 1st... I'm very nervous, I know this is the right choice for me but it's a HUGE life changer.

You will be fine. I had mine 10 days ago, and I everything is pretty much back to normal (other than being skinnier! :) ) This site was really helpful for me right after surgery.

Thanks everyone!!! This site seems really helpful. The only problems I've had so far with my pre-opp diet is that I'm starting to feel sluggish. Not hungry just a little tired. I think it's the lack of coffee. The good news is that I've already separated my clothes into before and after. I can't wait to fit in my old jeans again!!!

      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'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
