Anyone having surgery on August 18?!



Recommended Posts

I am!! I am officially done with all of my appointments. I met with the surgeon, dietician, psychologist, and exercise physiologist. I feel much better and really, really positive about the whole time. I've NEVER had surgery though! I'm kinda nervous about that..but the outcome..should be amazing! yay!

Let me know if anyone has surgery this day! Or a day close by. We can be anxious/nervous/scared/excited together :wink2::):)

wow that is allot of people getting banded. I am so excited about mine I just wish it were here already.

Less then a week now and counting. Aug 5th is my date.

I am not to good with this site yet.....not sure if I am doing everything right. I have a myspace because of my friends and my daughter had to help me set it up, so I am just not good at this.

I am glad a found this website though, I was going nuts looking lapband people up. Asking anyone who knew anyone that had one. Here the security person Tracy at my work her husbands cousin had it 6 months ago and is doing great. Lost allot of weight already. He has his own website, with his begining to now.

I just can't wait.

lisafitz - I know!!! I think about it all of the time! All day. And, I'm so unbelievably busy so it kind of sucks. I spend time researching the lapband instead of doing my homework and stuff :/ I'll have tons to do at night, and I'll end up on here the whole time! ha! I'm working full time currently and taking 3 classes. And selling a lot on ebay. My life is so busy and crazy. haha But, I'm so so excited, and nervous of course. I've never had surgery! :)

        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!

      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
