I think it'd be really hard to have/host/attend a family dinner near surgery. Heck I typically host thanksgiving and I am taking this year off and that is about 7 months out from surgery.

I wonder if I will ever be strong enough to not weigh every day. I only record it on fridays but every morning after I pee there I stand in all my nekkid glory on the scale hoping it's lower than the day before lol!!

I thought I was the only one like that every morning.....:crying:

OK, who needs Ticker/Banner help, because SOMEBODY (Thin, is it you? ;-)) forgot to put a return (Enter) between their tickers and I'm WAY too lazy to scroll side to side and I can't see everything you're writing....LOL.

oh i didnt forget i purposely omitted it. figured 4tickers was a bit much but dont want to get rid of any of them lol so i stacked them side to side to make better use of the room. I can see them at once but my laptop is a widescreen, I didnt think about that when I did it. Guess I'll whittle my tickers down...hmmm....which to lose....

Lest you delete a Bunny (blasphomy! we'd have to take back your bunny ears!) or *gasp* My Man Mickey...I can put forth the effort to scroll over:lol:...after all, you'll be getting rid of that 'Band Birthday' one soon enough YAY!...problem solved LOL!!!

Hello! I would like to be added to the list. I have an appointment April 1 to schedule a surgery date, take the ulcer test and when to start the preop diet otherwise everything is done. They said I should be a Bunny Bandster! Good luck to everyone on their liquids now. - Val

Thanks band -Groupie and Sissy add me for April 9th.

here is a finish for your poem.

Bunnie looked and looked until she found a home,

Then she found the perfect spot, On the beach in the sand

And right along with her came her lap band

While she in the sun looking all lean and tan

What did she drink nothing other than one Slimfast in a can

Bunnie felt eyes upon her

when she looked she saw a Man

With a twinkle in his eye and wink

then he ran

he yelled back You look fabulous!

Bunnie said I knew I would

the moment I said Yes, Yes, Yes I can!

Enjoy, Murphy

Hey April 27??!!! I don't know...that's a pretty gloomy day...are you sure...we may have an eclipse or something equally as scary that day....well, I guess after all that waiting...if you must...

...that's my *gulp* 50th birthday:lol: (I'm still getting used to the idea).

Okay I just got off the phone w/the scheduler. I have an appt on 4/7 to do my preop physical and preop diet and answer all my questions (i have a list that is ever growing anybody got any suggestions?) and then another appt to meet w/the surgical team on 4/13. She mentioned the lapband.com site that will have info and support for me post bandign and she will give me that information after she gets it. Has anybody else used that site? I will be staying in the hospital for 36 hours after surgery to be sure everything goes smoothly (not looking forward to that at all). I also WILL have a preop diet that will start roughly 2wks prior to banding.

On surgery day I have to be at the hospital at 6am @@ that SUCKS but at least i'll be done early right?

okay NOW i'm starting to get a little nervous.....it suddenly seems so much more real!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
