July 2005 band dates????



Recommended Posts

I'm not nesting, but what is strange is that I am not hungry! My doc doesn't make his patients do the liquid diet before surgery, in fact, no restrictions at all. I figured I would be eating every thing in site just because - but I really have no appetite at all.

Hi Primadonah,

I don't think there is any pre-op here who doesn't have a few doubts about long-term success. Let's face it - we wouldn't be having the surgery if we hadn't all been through endless dieting and subsequent failure. I find that reading every lapband success story I can get my hands on helps me feel optimistic. There are no guarantees, but at least the odds are strongly in our favor for once!

Good luck with your surgery!

Tomorrow, July 20, is my day--seems like it is for a lot of folks!

Good luck to all of you!

The adventure begins.....

Anwyn, I hadn't thought of it as nesting, but I guess I am. I am trying to finish painting my daughter's room before Thursday, so we can get her furniture back in there and out of my way! I'm also working on the laundry, because there are just those fave clothes that are soft and comfy and I want them ready to wear!

I'm having my surgery at the Surgery Center of Fort Worth, which is really more in North Richland Hills or Hurst. Dr. Marsden is my surgeon.

I agree that it is nice to talk to someone when you want to find out more and get some "atta girls"!

Hey y'all! I got my band yesterday and once I got home I felt much better than I expected to.

My biggest problem was getting in and out of my tall bed and sleeping on my back.

Feeling pretty good, but my body tells me when to take some pain meds.

When my husband gets home for lunch I am going to take a shower. I think they glued my boobs to my belly! :D

susu said it right, now I need a ticker and a cute picture!

Good luck everyone!

Colleen...I so agree on the tall bed and sleeping on back - I have that too! I am a toss and turner...but you definitely know when to stay put!

I work up this morning and found that they had left one of the ekg deals on me.

Obviously didn't bother me at the time...:D

Glad you are doing good.

Got home yesterday from being banded Thursday, feel better today than I did yesterday. I too have a problem getting in my tall bed & laying on my back. But not too bad, long as I take my meds when needed. My family are all out swimming. That sort of bums me out. I love to swim. I don't know about where anyone else is, but it is 103 degrees outside here! I don't seem to feel as bad as I thought I would. That's a good thing! I was worried what I would do about being hungry. I haven't been hungry once, yet.

I am happy to see that the other new bandsters are doing good, also.

On My Way to a Slimmer ME!

My husband picked up a rubbermaid step stool and that has helped the tall bed problem 100% and last night I was able to sleep on my side again (it's the little things!).

The heat is bad here too and the mosquitos are AWFUL, so it has been hard to walk as much as I should.

Everything else is going fine though.

      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.
