Hello! :) Getting Banded Tomorrow Nov 29. Feeling Really Nervous :(

[Bel1014 2]

I didn't do so well on my liquid diet. It was really hard for me. I lost only 11 pounds. I hope that is enough to get banded tomorrow.

11 pounds is great!!!! I'm sure you will be fine! Good Luck!

11 lbs is a good loss but its more about shrinking your liver for the surgery as its in front of the stomach.

Good luck tomorrow!

11 pounds is 11 less than you started with. Good luck with your surgery!

Good luck tomorrow!, you're about to change your life, isn't that exciting??

eleven pounds is enough, don't worry

Thank you guys. I'm still very nervous. My doctor called me today and told me I won't be able to lift more then 10 pounds for 5 - 6 weeks! I thought it was for a few days only. This is a problem for me because I have an 18 pound 5 month baby girl almost thinking about not getting banded tomorrow. I'm going to ask my 20 year daughter if she can stay with me for 6 weeks if she can't I won't be able to my get band.

My daughter said yes she's going to stay with me to help out with her little sister. Good thing I had twins 20 years ago. They are great babysitters I'm feeling a little better now.

I am 2 weeks out from surgery... The first 7 I didn't lift much at all, however I just went for a check today and have no restrictions on lifting my kids. Don't back out!!! Being on this side of the band, I wouldn't change it for anything! I'm down 32 lbs since starting my process and don't regret it one bit! I have 5 kids ges 14, 10, 7, 3 and 1... I needed to do this so I'm still around to pick up my grandbabies! Small sacrifice now for great rewards later! Don't put it off, where there's a will, there's a way! Prayers for you and good luck!

Thank you Vanessa! I'm not backing down. Made a few phone calls and friends and family

Are going to help me if I need help with my baby girl. I'm getting excited now. My baby girl and my 2 year old grandson are the main reason I'm getting banded. I want to be healthy and strong for them. I ready to change my life!! Yay!

You won't believe what happened yesterday.. Right before I went in the surgery room one of the Doctors notice my lab results. He saw that my TSH levels was to high.. So I couldn't get banded. I was a total mess couldn't stop crying. Doctor was so upset at his staff that they didn't read my labs a month ago when I did them. It was a horrible! Doctor gave $300 in GC for their mistake.
