How is everything going so far with your lapband procedure? How do you like Dr. Hamn? :rolleyes: He is my surgeon, and so far I like him and his staff.

A friend of mine at work had Dr Hamm as his surgeon and had good things to say about him and his staff and the followup support.

I just came home on Tuesday from my lapband surgery. I stayed one night at the hospital and I am so glad I did because they monitored everything for me. Now that I am home, the only thing that has been a little tough is the gas pains. My left shoulder really hurts sometimes, and I was told to walk out the pain (gas). My first night home was scary because I was running a 102 temp that was most likely due to chest congestion. This is common. As soon as I started walking around and coughing up stuff (I know this sounds aweful, but it is important for fellow lapband patients), I was better and my temp went down to 99.

I am still on the phase 1 total Clear Liquids until tomorrow, but I don't crave anything else, and my husband is cooking all sorts of goodies in the kitchen. In fact, I feel really full. I know it will probably get tougher when I can start eating more, but for now. no problem!

The most awesome thing is my blood sugar levels! I was diabetic on oral meds and my blood sugar is now 126 compared to 280+. My goal is under 120, but above 80.

I hope this helps everyone. Dr. Hamn and the staff at Plano Presbyterian was wonderful!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
