One More Day Of Work!!!



Recommended Posts

And then I can start getting everything ready for the 16th!! I'm so excited. Is it weird that I'm not nervous?? I've always been the type to just get it done, when it came to scary stuff etc. there's no turning back, I'm leaving the past.

I wasn't nervous till I really started to think. About being cut open. Yikes. I'm really excited, but not gonna lie about being nervous. I'm in really good health( beside being overweight) and feeling wonderful after losing 21 preop lbs. I'm nervous, cause I have 3 kids I need to come home too, that need me. But I'm putting all my trust in God. He's yet to interven and make me change my mind. So I'm doing this 100%. My surg is wend. Good luck to you! ;)

My surgery is on Thursday too! Good luck to both of you guys...I can't wait! I took 10 days off from work so I hope i do well. This has been so many years in the works. Every time I got close something would happen like losing my jobs, or my wife telling me she wanted a divorce, closing my business, or foreclosure...one way or another something happened. This time all is going well, I have it paid for, time off from work and now I just need a ride to an from the hospital! Good luck to us all, let's stay in touch post op. Good luck....

mine is the 15th I'm not scared of the surgery but concerned about my pre op diet I really dont see the scale going down much but my clothes are getting loose especially around my waist I just worry that I will get everything done and the surgeon look in there and say ok close her up the liver is too fat I have lost 10lbs but the majority of that was before I started the pre-op diet. I am just going to keep going and pray he can see my hard work :) Good luck to everyone

me too I have had surgery before but for some reason I am nervous about this one I guess because I worked so hard to get to this day. I am working tomorrow I just need something to occupy my time if I sit at home I will go crazy and it's easier for me to be on the clear liquid diet when I am constantly busy Good luck 15AUG band buddies we are almost there

Just joined the forum I am at the very beginning just started thinking about having the lap band surgery and joined the forum to get some info on what steps to take, I am reading a lot of positive posts, also a lot of posts that talk about getting fills, not sure what that means, I got the name of a doctor who does the lap band surgery fro my primary doctor, I just have to get up the nerve to make an appointment.

Good luck to all of you who are about to have surgery, I'' probally check the posts to see how you made out, thanks.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
