Surgery Tomorrow!!!!

Just wanted to ask everyone to keep me in your prayers tomorrow for the big day.

I'm so afraid I will fail at this like I did at all my diets. I mean I guess we all failed at diets or we wouldn't need the band but I just lost confidence in myself. All the repeated attempts to lose and then failing has been internalized. All I'm asking God for is to help me regain control again. I gotta believe I can do this with the help of God and the band. Did anyone else feel like this????

Kat225,

You can do itbrandyII.

Good luck this morning with your surgery :)

Hi Kat!
I was just banded yesterday and was feeling the same things you are. It was my first surgery of anykind so you can imagine. But honestly, I got the butterflies when I first arrived at surgery center but the staff was great and I just focused on how lucky I was to be having this done. For years we have struggled with weight and now with the band we have a viable tool to help us succeed.

My advice-take someone who really supports your decision to get banded and imagine all the cute clothes you'll be shopping for!

Weight Loss Tickers

I had my surgery at 11am on 4/2 and was home at 4pm (that includes a 40 minute drive home). I feel great. Lots of gas pain yesterday and today the incisions hurt some-but nothing too bad. I keeping reminding myself I asked for it and how much I still want it so that really helps with the pain. No hunger at all so far so that makes the clear liquids easy.
