Hello. Scheduled For 8/8

[Pheath 38]

Hi, I am coming out of lurkdom and saying a big thank you to LapBandTalk for all the info I've gotten over the past 6 months. I am having a lapband with plication on 8/8. I need to lose right at 100 lbs. I have no idea how I let myself get this big but I did. I am an emotional eater and I know that it is going to be a challenge to find another way to manage my emotions. I am self pay (YIKES, my company has a WLS exclusion) but I feel like I have to do it to get control of my health. I'm 48 y.o., recently divorced, and have 3 kids.

For any of you that had plication, I am scared of the recovery! I had my GB out on 6/29, also lap, because they discovered gall stones during my workup for my lapband. I thought that was a breeze.

Is there a board for lapband with plication?

i think there is but there are people like me and others who have had the plication.

dont worry or focus on how you let yourseld get to whatever..you are doing something about it. focus on that.

the band will help you eat less (its a plastic thing) but you will have to change what you eat and make better choices.

anyhow, all the best and i know you will succeed.

Carolinagirl, how did you do after surgery? Did you have nausea?

Carolinagirl, how did you do after surgery? Did you have nausea?

not one time. . stressed to dr and nurses that i did not to feel nausea. dr told me he gave me extra meds before and after surgery and gave a nausea patch. i told them when i had other surgeries and did feel horrible, they told me that didnt have to be that way. i consider myself lucky.
