Tomorrow is the big day



Recommended Posts

Well its finally here and I'm sh&*%$$ my pants! I'm happy sad and terrified

all at the same time. I really havn't been able to eat for 4 days. Who would

have thought. Each time I try I'm in the bathroom 10 min. later. I know

its all nerves. I have this fear that I will have all kinds of problems after

the surgery and knowing that I did this to myself and I didn't have to.

I have been reading way too much I think. I'm making myself sick. Every time

I tell someone I'm doing this they ask me if I'm crazy that I'm not big enough

to do something so drastic. I know if I could do this on my own I would have

done it a long time ago. I'm 5'2" 211lbs. I have a very bad back and that

is the main reason for doing this. I know in the long run I will be happier and

healthier. I just need some reassurance. Has anyone out there had their

surgery with Dr. Edward Mun in Boston. Ok enough rambling thanks for

listening.

Mayflower,

You're just like most of all of us -- nervous, scared and full of anxiety. It's all part of the process. Good luck with your surgery and we will see you in Bandland!

I was banded last week and I know what you are feeling. Everything will be fine and soon you will be wondering what you were so nervous about!

Good luck and best wishes.....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      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.

      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!
