bubblesbgood 29 Posted June 5, 2012 here we go! tomorrow at 330 my lapband journey of disappointment will end. its been 5 yrs of hell and i have to admit im a little nervous but im also hopeful. i have a new surgeon and a new hospital. i believe the outcome will be much better than the band. this time around i kind of know what to expect. ive had my bag packed for 2 weeks now (think im a little anxious?!) i got my home in order so i wont have the compulsion to clean every 5 mins. , i even got a new sectional sofa to heal on as i cant sleep well in a bed now. the treadmill is set in the livingroom so when i need to walk i can hold on to something and set the pace. i have all the protein/liquids/creamys. got the nails done and facial. all my support people are waiting. hubby and my daughter are ready theyve been through the worst of this trek with me, im so grateful for them and so grateful i didnt have to do it alone. as a support he will do the liquid stage for a couple of days only because he doesnt think he can do it, but will do the creamys and up right along with me. it is so different this time.while im nervous thats to be expected im also excited, i have an incredible surgeon, a fabulous N.U.T, and an amazing therapist who is helping me deal with the mental addiction i have had with food since childhoood. food you are no longer my friend, lover, mother, nuturer you can go now. Ok Creator, im pulling the "ask, believe, receive" card. i know you hear me and will answer. so grateful! will keep my new friends on here posted! 2 Patrick Curl and lovealways reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shangefan 193 Posted June 5, 2012 Thrilled for you. I am sure you are gonna do great! I cannot wait to get rid of my lapband, too. I had a horrific experience at lunch with friends on Sunday. food just sat in my chest, then it became clear it was coming back. It was awful, awful, awful. July 9 is my day. In the meantime, you keep the bench warm for us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

misschris 2 Posted June 7, 2012 I hope that surgery went well. I am also one that was disappointed in the band. I will be getting sleeved July 17th. I will be following your journey... I'm pulling for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubblesbgood 29 Posted June 7, 2012 ty for all of our words of encouragement due to horrible circumstances i couldnt get sleeved too many horrors inside from my other surgeon. they did manage to get the band out even though it was pus covered. i am a total mess inside at the moment and must heal before i can get sleeved.
