Congrats on getting your band out. I'm ready to get mine out too. I'm scheduled for a revision on 02/09/12. I'm so scared.

I'm so happy for you!! How are you feeling?

Thanks!

It has really been a mind game with me so far! Before, we (hubby and I) would joke about the day that I could actually sit at a restaurant (and not by the bathroom) and have a good meal and keep it down but now, i am afraid to have that good meal! I get queasy just thinking about eating a full meal.

I think the strangest part for me is burping. I have not let out a good burp in 17 years!

I am so ready for my sleeve though! I find that this waiting for 6 weeks is more torture than anything! I am so inspired by all your success stories and I am ready for it to be MY TURN to finally have that happiness! I know it sounds selfish but I cant help that is the way I feel. The band made promises that neither one of us could keep. I am ready for my new bestie to live with!

Yay!! SO glad to hear about it. Try to enjoy this time in between - sounds like your stomach and psyche are in need of some RnR. Best of luck to you with your sleeve surgery. You'll go through another tough time in the beginning with keeping things down, but it gets better after a few weeks.

I sometimes think us former band folks handle the post op a little better because we already know what its like to have eating problems.

Good luck!
