Topic: RE: May 14th - Lap Band
Hi Sabrina. I really am happy with my decision. I chose the lapband because I didn't want to have issues with malabsorption of vitamins, etc. later. Plus, when you look at the data, banders do lose as much as GBers, it just takes a little longer. I think I'm just getting a little nervous about the whole thing- what will I do without my main coping mechanism (eating)? I will be in support groups and therapy. And of course I'm starving.... third day of opti-slop here. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. It's got to be- I'm a nurse and have to work 12hrs Monday and Tuesday.
I will keep in touch! You do the same!

Topic: RE: May 14th - Lap Band
I am right there with you, but I finally came to the conclusion that I chose band surgery because it is less invasive and I'm sticking with it. Another advantage that I see is that with the band you can go back FOR YEARS to have fills. So if you start to gain a few pounds you can go get a fill rather and try to get things back under control before we get back to the point we are at now.
Bypass patients don't have that option without a revision. Some even get banded later, so I think I've thougth it through enough and am happy with my choice.
Only a few more days!!!!
Keep in touch and let me know how your surgery goes.

Sorry, didn't mean to take so long to reply. Life has been very hectic!!!!
My pre op is not liquid. I am supposed to try to eat between 1200 to 1500 calories a day and stay away from white foods, sweets etc...
So...how did the surgery go and how are you doing so far???

It is so very worth all the wait & pain to finally have this done. All I want is to be healthy & spend as many days with my husband & family as I can. The being thinner is just a added bonus!
