Topic: RE: Lap Band scheduled for 8/17 - Would like a Buddy!
I am scheduled for my surgery 8/30. I am like you...
Wondering what I should expect for the first few weeks. I have heard some do better than others. Hoping I am one of them!
I'd love to know how you are doing. Since we will both be newbies, at least we can have someone with whom to go through this .
Hope all goes well for you!

Dadgum chicken nuggets... LOL
Glad you were able to get that taken care off. My kids think that chicken nuggests make the world go around.
Great that you are able to have it implanted again. Good to to hear that you did not have trouble swallowing pills. That is such a big deal for me since I take seizure meds. Thanks for letting me knowt that. Kinda' puts my mind at ease a bit.
Since I have been on this pre-op diet, I have been losing a bit of weight. Problem with diets with me is that I will lose a little weight, but always put it right back on.Looking forward to being able to make it past the plateau.
I am in a slight state of mourning, though. I am looking at all the food I love that I will not be able to enjoy... sigh...
But, I am sure that it will be worth it in the end!
Hope your surgery goes well. Let's check in with each other afterwards!

Topic: RE: August 27th is my Surgery Date!!!
Im scheduled for 8/27 too. I am so so excited too. I wish you both the very best. I started my serious journey June 1. I thought I wanted to do the sleeve but my insurance would not pay, but it would for bypass so thats where Im at. How have ya'll done on the diet? I've done better than I ever dreamed. It's amazing. My heaviest wt is 241. I weighed 235 the day of my pre-op diet and I'm down to 229.5. Every pound gone is one more that I don't have to tote around lol. What are ya'll eating? What are ya'll packing for hospital. How long will ya'll have to stay? All questions... lol. Good luck to each of you

Hi Sissylou, im scheldued for surgery the same day...i had the lap band and loved it,i had no problems swallowing pills.i did really well. I lost a total of 50 lbs in a year.(remember you lose weight a lot slower then people have bypass.) I had to have my band removed,because i ate a chicken nugget from chick fil a.It got stuck,and after a day of vomiting,i ended up in the emergency room.unable to keep anything down.The surgery itself was a breeze,went back to work after 2 weeks.Im now having rny on the 30th..Wishing you nothing but the best,im sure you will do great !!
