I've been waiting for this day for a long time

[brand_e 0]

So Monday is my surgery and I have done everything I possibly can to prepare. I am so excited. I joined this community hoping to find people just like me and answers to questions doctors just can't answer. A lot of people ask me if I'm nervous and I'm not. I'm just really anxious to start losing weight. I've been slowing gaining weight since the birth of my son 4 1/2 years ago. I can't wait to be back to my normal self. I'm 31 year sold and I've got to get this under control before I get too old. The strange thing is I love to be active but since I have over 125 lbs of extra weight on me, nothing is fun to do. My back hurts, my legs fall asleep, I swell, I sweat, I lose my breath. It's crazy. I always notice that I am the fattest person in the room. I can't wait to start losing weight so I can do all the things my friends do. I'm looking to add friends, so hit me up!

Congrats on your surgery in less than 2 days!!!

One suggestion....bring lip balm with you to the hospital. My lips were so dry afterwards and could only take small sips of Water.

Good luck !

I was not nervous before my surgery either! You will be so happy in a couple of days. I went back to work a couple of days after surgery and have not looked back since. I wish I would have had the option to have my band when I was 30 rather than 46 (now 47) - but it was so worth it.

Good luck and welcome! I'm one week post op, and think it's the best decision I ever made for myself!

Welcome LBT!!

Congrats on your upcoming date! I'm almost 3 months out & would not change anything for the world.It took me almost 2 1/2 years to get approved too.......but it is sooo worth it.

It was rough in the beginning but now it's smooth sailing so far.It's a huge learning experience but there is tons of great advice & knowledge here.

So best wishes to you as you start your "new" life to a thinner & happier & healthier self!!:thumbup:
