Hi everyone. I have a question. I do Water exercise every week and I noticed that I am always cold when I get in and it takes at least 15 min before I get my shoulders wet. YMCA I also am colder a lot more, wondering if it is because of the lapband surgery? Does anyone notice they are colder more often than before or is it in my head. Please let me know. Thanks. Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Eileen,

you are definitley no imagining this, but its not b/c of the lap-band per se but because of all the weight you have lost. Its like losing all of your insulation!!You have officially lost your extra winter coat!

ok everyone listen up, I was running my mouth off last nite about how I was gonna manage my own heartburn and watch what I eat and was down to 200.3, well, I was up all nite with the worst heartburn ever!!! and I went running up to Hoffman's today with my tail between my legs and told him to take out the .25 he put in a week ago, well, he did and more but wont tell me he said he took a "smidge", and I seen him squirt some out of the siringe, and Barb wanted me deflated with a upper GI today. WHAT!!! well, that didn't happen, but I do have to go in 6 weeks and have an upper GI before i go up and see Hoff. I also was up to 202 this a.m. sooooo, I hope I don't have to finish another bottle of mylanta tonight,....I also am going to be scoped EGD study in the spring....

I had terrible heartburn too lastnight. But I know why.. Had 3 medium buffalo wings and 3 drinks ...but I think it was more the wings that gave me the heartburn. I'm going to have a scope too on the 13th. < --If I don't chicken out!lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
