Oct. 15th my band date



Recommended Posts

I am so nervous, I keep going back and forth in my mind weather or not to do it. I really want to but I am afraid of a lot of things. Failure being one, also not fully knowing if I will be able to adapt to the changes needed of me, also it might be the unknown of the future. I really want to change I want to go on this journy but it being so close to reality now i'm completely terrified. I'm not sure if I am starting to change my mind out of fear or what. I know in my mind I want to do it, but at the same time i'm not sure. If you have any advice or even storys to help me out that be great.

You may be afraid of failure like we all are, but I feel you should be 100% sure that this is what you want before you do it. It may help to keep researching it and ask questions when you have them. You could also do a pro/con list to help you get an idea of why you do and don't want it. Good luck to you.

Hey there..

I am being banded on 10/14 and I have alot of the same feelings of anxiousness. My biggest fear is failure....what if it works then all of the weight comes back? What if it doesn't work at all? What if I eat around my band and cheat with slider foods?

I think that almost everyone goes through this in one aspect or another....hang in there!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
