Anyone Getting Banded In July?

[Dawn12 11]

8 more days and counting... I have my last weigh in this thursday and should get a phone call the day before surgery letting me know what time to be at the hospital for Wednesday the 25th.

I have been through surgery before and know what to expect as far as the iv and anesthesia' date=' but like any sugery I am still nervous and anxious.

How is everyone else doing so far?[/quote']

Patty I go in on the 30th.. I am day 5 of 2wk liquid diet.. Sigh ... I know how you feel there is always alittle anxiety before.. Good luck with your journey!! I wish I was where your at right now!! Lol.. Keep us posted..

LOL' date=' ohh I know I am going to feel the same way. Is amazing how good food taste to us once we really don't eat it, or eat as much of it. I mean I eat tuna fish all the time, but let me tell you now a days that bad boy is tasting like lobster tails. hahahahaha[/quote']

Ahahahahahhaa!!! I soooo feel you!!!

I can't believe I get banded tomorrow! I have to call the hospital sometime after 2 to get the time for in the morning. Everyone I told about my decision up until Monday supported me. I told my pastor about my plans and he's 100% + against me doing it' date=' although he did say he would support me regardless of what I choose. I emailed him yesterday and told him I would go through with it but he didn't reply and when I seen him yesterday he said nothing about it ( not sure if he checked it or not) and I've been having these really strange dreams. I need some encouragement on amotivated serious note.[/quote']

Motivated no worries.. If people don't have weight/eating problems they just sometimes don't understand.. We here are all in this together and although I have only been on here 3 days, I have gotten so much love and support!!! It's gonna be ok!!

Motivated, everyone says a heating pad can help. Keep taking the gas x strips and try and walk (don't over do it with the walking) your still healing.

Hang in there girlie

Hi everyone.

Surgery Thursday. I had to stay one night as well, but didn't mind. They kept the pain meds coming and I had great care. I live alone and thought that best as am still a bit weak and lightheaded.

I feel pretty good. Incisions are pretty sore, and I am having quite a burning sensation in my stomach, sort of like bad indigestion. The Gas X strips do help quite a bit, so I recommend them. Otherwise feeling quite well. For those of you that have surgeries coming up, it isn't bad at all. And good luck to you all.

The new live starts now!!!

I was down 10 lbs on the liquid diet, and 15 from the beginning of the process. So I have a pretty good start on this. Someone even commented that it shows already. Wow...

I hope so. This is day 2 of my post open and I'm still hurting and feeling whiny. I can turn in my bed better now, although it still hurts and I've been using gas strips which aren't helping and drinking Water Gatorade and eating sugar free popsicle but I'm still in soon much pain. I wouldn't have went through with this if I knew I'd be feeling like this
