Topic: RE: Who's scheduled for the 27th?
Hey, I am new here. I will have the Realize Band on January 27 in Concord, NC by Dr. Bawman. I am scared but ready to get this done and start my new journey in life. I have bought all my supplies for after surgery and am doing the liquid diet now to get ready for the big day. For those of you on the 27th keep in touch.

Topic: Cold feet? Jitters .... surgery the 26th. (long)
I have been planning for this day (surgery day the 26th) for almost a year now. I have done ALL my homework, ALL my research, I know everything I am suppose to do and am going to go through, I bought my vitamins for the next 3 months (ALL of them, multi, calcium, iron, B12, etc ...spent close to 200 bucks), I have all my post op "food", I am in the 3rd day of my liquid diet, so I am almost there!
Well, I was thinking this liquid diet will be so easy, I don't know what everyone is whining about (and I only have to do it for a WEEK!). Well, I was wrong .... day 1 was okay, day 2 was horrid, and today is better than yesterday. BUT I find myself thinking "what am I about to do to myself?" "did I really exhaust all other options?" "I am healthy (now) ... don't fix something that isn't broken." .... they just keep coming. Don't get me wrong ... I want this surgery so bad, but why am I thinking these things??? Why am I questioning my decision NOW ... why not 3 month or even 1 month ago?!?!
I am so scared of the "unknown" ... will I be one with lots of complications? Will I not lose any weight and fail? .... I have 3 children (8, 6 & 1) and I find myself thinking about them and if I have complications and am in and out of the hospital, they deserve me there every day to help, love and nurture them. I just don't know ... I have so many things running through my head ... they just came on all of a sudden BRAIN OVERLOAD! I don't want to end up like my father who had a stroke at age 46 (has high BP, cholesterol, diabetes), my whole family has high BP and is overweight. I just want to set a good example for my kids but can not do it without help (from my tool). I WANT THIS, but why these thoughts NOW? Did any of you ever have any thoughts close to this???
Thanks for listening to my rant/vent ... I just needed to let it out.

Topic: RE: Anyone scheduled for JAN 28TH???
My surgery is on the 28th. I didn't have to do the liquid diet but had to do the low carb diet. I've lost 3 - 4 pounds this week. 13 lbs is great!!! I've got my pre op blood work and check up tomorrow. I'll know the official weight loss then.'
Please pray for me and I will do like wise. I want to change that area of my life also. Remember, that any Christian is a good Christian. God didn't take time to make a nobody.
Best of Luck.
