Today is day 7 of my pre-op....wow! After today I will be on the downhill slope! I am down 10lbs, this weekend was really hard was out of town at a baseball tourney. Determination is all it takes I have made my mind that food will always be there and this is the time I am going to beat it!

Good luck to all scheduled this week and happy healing to those that are banded!

I am now on my 4th day post-op. I must say the weekend was pretty rough but today I woke up and feel almost normal again.lol. I can barely drink 2-4oz an hour. Still not even hungry. My gas pain is now all gone and no nausea. I am now looking forward to what the future holds and still SUPER excited!!! I start back to work tomorrow so will be interesting to see how that goes.

I finally, FINALLY got the approval from the insurance company - they are allowed 30 days to reply - I swear it was 29.5 days until they approved!

I am scheduled for 21 March for my surgery..... both excited and nervous....

Hi cullychick n thanks for your support.

No problem...that's what we're all here for!!

[cullychick 46]

Well....12 hours and I will be in surgery. Is this normal that I am not freaking out???

[dearlh 92]

trust me cullychick, it comes quick but it wasn't near as bad as I expected. Where are you having yours done?

[cullychick 46]

dearlh mine is being done in Bloomington, IL. I actually am a nurse and work with my surgeon. He is wonderful! Maybe that is why I'm not so nervous BUT this is my first surgery EVER and my first hospital stay EVER!!!
