I so happy we are banded. I went in early yesterday for surgery. I stayed overnight, which was the best. I got all the needed medicines, I was never in pain. I was discharged 10/26 at 4:30 pm. I am home on the couch with my family watching movies. I hope you feel better. I did heat up a wash cloth, placed it in a zip lock to lay on port incursion. I hope you feel better. Did you stay overnight?

Congrats!!! Welcome to your new life!!! I stayed overnight and was discharged at 6am, my mom stayed overnight with me. I was soooo blessed not to be in any pain, I had no gas pain at all. I've had my follow up appointment, and I'm healing excellent. I lost another 6lbs, so I'm down 20lbs total!! I go for my first fill at the end of November!!!

Hi, everyone. So I am a week out tomorrow from being banded. Doing pretty good! I am so close to sleeping on My stomach! LOL on My side for now. I am only hurting when I bend or getting up from sitting. It's really not that bad. Pleasantly surprised! I haven't been very hungry. Not starving I mean. My soda habit. Is gone and I don't even miss it! Hope all is well with everyone!

I am only a day and half from my banding date! Friday late morning is my time.......and has not had a diet coke for like 10 days now....I wonder how it will be sleeping on my left side? I am a side sleeper and it is left mostly. But plan on doing the recliner sleep time for a few days if needed.

I love reading the supportive comments and the support everyone is giving. I am scheduled for my Lapband on 11/21 (yes, the day before Thanksgiving). I am a little nervous but excited at the same time. I start my 2 week diet next week and I know that is the beginning of my new skinny and healthy life.

      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.
