Yea for you!!! I am just thinking it is 2 weeks from tonight that I will be "cleaning" out for my bowel prep and surgery in the am! WOW!!!
WELL, CONGRATS TO YOU. YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE YOUR BAND. I WENT FOR A FILL TODAY, AND THE DOCTOR TOLD ME "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED OBESE". IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR THAT. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE COME A LONG WAY. PLASTIC SURGERY TO ME WILL JUST BE ICING ON THE CAKE. I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU. KEEP ME POSTED.

WENT IN FOR A FILL THIS WEEK, AND ASKED THE DOC ABOUT MY UPCOMING PLASTIC SURGERY. I ASKED HIM IF I NEEDED TO GET UNFILLED. HIS RESPONSE WAS "FOR WHAT REASON?" HE SAID THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT, AND THAT I WOULD BE FINE. HE SAID THAT IF I GOT AN UNFILL, I WOULD EASILY GAIN BACK ABOUT 20 LBS. SO, I AM SOOOO HAPPY THAT I WON'T BE GETTING UNFILLED. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD PS W/OUT THE UNFILL?
If for some reason you have to be unfilled, you don't necessarily gain 20 pounds back easily. I have been unfilled for a month and am struggling to STOP the weight loss. I have lost almost 9 pounds since being unfilled. I think Kareyquilts was filled for the surgery, but then had to get unfilled afterwards. Just a word of caution...make sure your PS prescribes your pain meds in LIQUID form. You might get tight after surgery because of the stress your body undergoes, and you dont' want to be taking a pill that could get stuck.

GOOD ADVICE, THANKS. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH AT ALL TO STRESS ME OUT AND I HATE TAKING ANY KIND OF PILL.
Try not to be too nervous -- as you can see from those of us who have gone through this lately, it's been pretty smooth sailing, and I'm sure it will be the same for you !
