Saying hi and freaking out



Recommended Posts

Don't worry, it'll be fine - words of wisdom from the truly crazy, having had my lapband done in Mexico! And this was BEFORE I discovered LapBandTalk to be able to talk to other people who had done it!

Ya, I was scared and excited, but mostly I knew I couldn't continue walking the path I was on. So, yes, scary, but definitely worth it!

OMG! What's wrong with you!

Just Kidding.... :eek:

Of course it's normal. Everything will be great. Nobody on this site died! (lol) ~ok, I have a SICK sense of humor...

I was totally freaked out. I live in Sac, CA. I flew to San Diego, drove over the boarder and had Lap Band surgery the same day... and get this, I TRAVELED ALONE! Yeah, talk about being totally scared. The only time I've been to TJ was to buy cheap liquor, get drunk and hope to crawl back over the border without being arrested! LOL To go there for surgery was INSANE TO ME. But, the doc and hospital were great and I was in good hands. Wouldn't have had it any other way.

You'll be fine. Don't be scared....

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
