So, I found out this week that I got approved on the first try. Now the nerves have kicked in and I hate to admit, I'm a little scared. Mostly scared of all the bad stuff that I read. I know I shouldn't concentrate on the cons, but I just can't help being nervous. Anybody else out there with these feelings

I made the mistake of looking up lap band failures right after I was approved. Almost talked my way right out of it. The more I read the more am convinced most complications are because people did not follow orders. I think if a person is really ready to make the changes needed they will be fine. My surgery is scheduled for January 22 and I can't wait.

Don't let all that "bad stuff" get to you! All will go well :) Make sure to read up on all the wonderful success stories in here. They will give you energy! I was banded 17 days ago, and while my recovery was rocky for the first 3 days, I have to say, that it was all worth it! I'm down 22 lbs and it has already boosted my self-esteem.

You can do this! You are worth it!

Good Luck and many blessings your way xoxoxo

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
