8/10 Surgery date

[Lisa Marie C 0]

Hey everyone,

Well I was approved and am so excited! I have a 8/10 surgery date! Please goive me all the advice I need. I am getting a little nervous! I am looking forward to the rest of my life! I am afraid though that once I have the band I will be afraid to eat. Has anyone else had the same fear? What other fears have you had. What did you find easy? What did you find hard?

Congratulations, Lisa Marie! I well remember that day when the approval came through, and all the fabulous dreaming turned into scary reality. But this is what you wanted and were waiting for, so it's time to get ready!!

You may be apprehensive about getting back on to solid food once you're through the liquid phase; many people are. But you'll be amazed at that point at how well you feel, how your stomach feels perfectly normal, and that you're HUNGRY, and your fear will recede. Believe us, it all takes just a little time and practice. You'll do fine! :D
