Orbera Success strategies

[ophelia150 10]

@@Wayward Traveler - thanks for thinking of me. Yes, I am still on track tomorrow for Orbera. Procedure is scheduled for 1:15. I will try to update tomorrow night. I'm anxious, nervous, hopeful and a little scared. But certainly confident that I will be following all the recommendations with your helpful summaries!

@@SLSH - thank you ... I hope you're right. Sometimes being mildly OCD comes in handy ... if only that's all it took - lol!

@@ophelia150 - good luck! I will keep an eye out for you tomorrow and will send lots of happy thoughts your way. I am definitely feeling all of the same things (gulp), so I understand what you're going through. I'm glad that my summary helped - lol!! :-D But I've never done this before either, so it's probably better to defer to everyone else here. Hopefully we can support each other through this ... I certainly wish you great success and hope that our journeys are fruitful. Cheers!!

If I had to do it over yes I would because everyone has their own experience! My doc gave me the patch, zofran and amind for nausea! I used all of them!

How is everyone doing...roll call

Hi - I just got my balloon a few weeks ago. Do you still have yours? How has it gone for you?

I just passed 1/2 way and have lost 26 pounds. No nausea, I am exercising and feeling pretty good. The weight loss has definitely slowed down, at this stage, I find, you are dieting, but just don't have the hunger that you usually experience. Good luck with yours and once you get through the first 6 weeks, it's not too hard.
