First Visit To Doctor After Surgery

[ILUVMATH 25]

Tomorrow I go see my surgeon for my 2 week follow up. I am nervous. All the things keep running through my head.

What if I've messed up? What if the band has slipped? What if I'm not losing fast enough? Will I get a fill? What if..........? You can see that I'm driving myself crazy.

So, what should I expect the first visit? I did find a local support group that meets at 6 pm on

Tuesday nights. Maybe going will help calm my insecurities.

What if everything is fine

What if you are getting yourself into a state for nothing.

Take a deep breath and RELAX. I am sure that everything will be fine.

I didn't get a fill at my 2 week appt. He just told me to move on to solid food. I met with the psyc and nut too. Have the surgeon check your insicions too make sure they are healing properly. Hope the appt. goes well!

why are you worried? you are fine. dont worry about getting fills (i think most drs wait until 4 to 6 weeks out). as for losing, you should be more concerned with healing instead of what the scale says..and your doctor will be so proud of you for doing as well as you are. i know i am.

like my friend elcee said, what if nothing is wrong?

what if you are terrific?

what if you are doing great?

what if you are right on schedule?

bet you are.....keep us informed as to what the dr said

Of course, the first visit wasn't as bad as I thought. I had lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks. Everything seems to be on track. Get my first fill on August 29th, a little over 4 weeks from my surgery on July 26th.

Done! Whew!

Awesome job, you worried yourself for nothin. I'm 20 post op & only lost 14 lbs. Keep up the good work.
