Monday is my surgery..can't wait. I was told at pro op that I would be in the hospital 2 or 3 nights. I know I have made the right choice to have the lap band..but, boy am I getting nervous.

I was nervous as I was being wheeled in. But it was worth it. I am adjusting to my new life style but am very happy about the weight loss. I wish you all the best of luck with your surgeries!

Hi, In was banded on the 21st. My surgeon has me on Clear Liquids until In see him again on the third. My only real concern was feeling likeb I needed to burp or hiccup. Getting use to that sensation. Lost eight pounds. Glad I'm in this place in life instead of kicking myself for gaining weight. Thanks to all of you for being by my side.

All is well. I spent one night in hosp, No gas pains in shoulder, but I did get the dry heaves every time I got up. Not much pain, just some discomfort where the sutures were made. So glad to be on this side of surgery. Good Luck all you March Banders.

I am glad you are doing well. I am good as well can't wait for Friday my staples will come out and find out what I can eat then. Hope our recoveries continue to move smoothly.

I am signing in a lot late, just found all of you on here. I was banded on 1/16/14 and have had my first fill 2 cc's. Can anyone tell me if you had around that amount of first fill, that you feel any restrictions. I don't seem to be feeling any restrictions and am worried about that. My doctors office said I needed to increase my Protein intake which I did, but I feel I am able to eat way more than I should be able too. Worried...any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
