Will anyone be going to their banding apt. alone?



Recommended Posts

Now a friend of mine said that she was going to go with me, however she just told me today that she will have to go to work for a training session. My cousin said that she would go but she has to take her mother to the airport @ 1:30pm and im not sure what time I will be released since it is out patient. So I will be going alone, I know my mother & my brother will be there with me in spirit, but is anyone else being banded alone?

I will be alone :)...

I have done most of the steps alone. I pulled one of my friends arms to go meet the surgeon with me. But for the most part ... it's been allllllll alone! So I will drive myself to the hospital and hitch hike home I guess... LOL! Uh yeah NO home is an hour away :wink2:!

Someone will probably pull through at the last minute!

No hospital with an ounce of ethical responsibility will let you leave without an escort. I even had to sign something saying I would not use public transportation for 24 hours following surgery. This is major surgery, laproscopic or not and you will be under general anesthesia. So no, you will not be able to go it alone. Sorry!!:wink2:

I have a husband, but I am one of those people that when I am under the weather I want everyone to leave me the hell alone. So hubby can drop me off and pick me up, but I want him outta my hair while I'm in the hospital overnight. Maybe I can send him to you??:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

It will be fine. I went to Mexico alone, flew home 4 hours and drove back from the airport 2 hours the next day. The day after that I went back to work doing massage. It was a cinch and I'm 58 years old so you won't have any problems. Gotta love yourself enough to hold your own hand.

Good vibes are being sent your way from all of us.

Blessings,

Sally

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

    • 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
