Pre-Op Dec 11th - Procedure Dec 12th



Recommended Posts

Well, after about 3 months of this and that I have my pre-op tomorrow and lapband gets "installed" on the 12th.

I’m pretty stoked to finally have everything lined up and ready to go. My first goal weight is 210 by March 19th 2008. That’s about 13 weeks from today give or take. That’s about 4 pounds a week so it’s very achievable.

Anyway, I just figured I’d post the Dec. band-ster’s since on Dec 12th I will officially one.

Good to hear you're feeling okay KingJes. The throat thing was tough. Warm tea helped me, but only after dr. okayed it.

Keep moving every half hour or so and that should help the gas.

Welcome to the band.

Been about 9 hours since the procedure. Still out of it from the drungs but all is good.

Still no gas pain that I can tell. Wondering if it just takes a while to kick in or what?

Going to go for a fast lap around the house and then back to sleep. Sooo sleeeeeepppppy!

Thanks all

I bet! The price of those things astounds me! I am a tat virgin but I plan to get my first one when I hit my weight goal :-)

My daughter is counting the days until her 18th birthday because I told her I'd take her for her first as soon as the big day arrived.

BTW... she liked your sleeves also :-)

Thats cool. I just started my chest and have about 9 hours into it so far. Thats 3 - 3 hours sessions. I have about 70 hours on my sleeves. You can see more photos of the progress and close ups on my myspace page if you wanna.

Make sure you research the artist you pick for that tattoo. I dont know what state you live in but if your in CA or WA I would use Jason O. Let me know if you want his info and I can shoot it over!

      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.
