This past weekend my daughter took time from architecture school and came home to cook me a full Thanksgiving dinner before I start the pre surgery diet. That was very sweet. Tomorrow I start the liquid diet. (raises glass to all fellow soon to be banders)http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/modern/crying.gif

That is so sweet of her !!

You've got a wonderful daughter! All my husband did was offer to take me out for a carb filled last supper. So we went to macaroni Grill :smile2:

Hello to all being banded and those who are, hope everyone is doing well!

I was banded on November 11th and am doing really well have lost 15 pounds :unsure: already an the liquids weren't as bad as i thought they would be and really not hungry at all, the mind game though was pretty rough when seeing good food and not being able to have it :). I get to start mushies tomorrow very excited :tt2: to have something other than a liquid dinner. I had no pain in any of my insicions and they are healing great, the gas pains in the shoulder where worse than i ever thought they would be, but made sure i got GasX before surgery like everyone suggested.

My questions is, the only pain i have really had from the surgery is where my port is, the pulling sensation is very uncomfortable. How long does this last and did anyone else have this same issue? Also how long before anyone was able to sleep on their side or stomach without any pain from the port?

Thanks

I have the same pain! I went to the doc today and he told me it was normal. I can lay on either side and back now but not stomach. I have been taking my ice pack to work with me so I can ice through the day and that has helped. I was banded Nov 3rd. I have lost 13lbs to date...other wise things are going great! I go back on Dec 1 to get my first fill.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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
