So today I saw the psychiatrist for my anxiety. Looks like I need to get that under control first. After 2-3 months then I will start psych evaluation and fry too move forward with lap band ;)

I have a panic disorder and it did not cause an issue with my banding. I also quit smoking and am on wellbutrin (that will cause anxiety). I was a cash pay, that might make a difference.

I have an anxiety disorder as well. I did notice an increase in anxiety for a short period after surgery. Oddly, it was at night prior to sleeping and waking from sleep. I didn't have full blown panic attacks, just some anxiety.

      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!
