mscoolpepper 8 Posted July 8, 2013 I have my Lapband put in tomorrow! I'm excited, nervous, scared, and anxious all at the same time. I look forward to connecting to some of you guys for support, recipes, and an occasional "you can do it!"..... Thanks! 6 PrettyThick1, Prynn65, dylanmiles23 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prynn65 18 Posted July 8, 2013 Hooray! Good for you! I had mine on June 20th and am doing great. I was scared and very nervous too, right up until they knocked me out for the surgery I was wondering if I was doing the right thing-- and now I'm so happy I did it! The best words ever, "Wake up, your surgery is over!" lol I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Going for my first fill. Best wishes!!!! 3 dylanmiles23, deseree65 and PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrienne21 106 Posted July 8, 2013 Good luck!! make sure you ask them for meds to help with the gas relief. It's a hard process but it can be done. 1 Prynn65 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mscoolpepper 8 Posted July 9, 2013 I made it through this morning..... I'm not going to lie when I got to the hospital I was seriously rethinking this! I made it through and it went quickly..... they told my hubs I was asking could I walk when they woke me up. I'm sore....but I KNOW it was the right thing for me. I had not weighed during my liquid diet.....but when they weighed me I was 15 down...yay. I'll update more soon! Thanks for thoughts and encouragement! 2 Lady VS and aviva1979 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pittsburgher 261 Posted July 9, 2013 Congratulations!! Welcome to the other side i had my surgery 20 days ago. The only thing i remember is saying bye to my hub then being wheeled off in the stretcher, but i also for some reason remember a big huge bright light not sure if i woke up during surgery or was still a little woke right before but thats all, I had a rough first 7 days with the gas and pain, but at day 8 it was like it never happened. I was.back to normal. Remember it gets better and if you have a question there are lots of people here to ask. Not one question is a dumb question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
