Surgery Sept. 29th

Hi, all.

I am getting ready for the surgery next Monday and am glad to find a board for those of us who are having bariatric surgery in September.  I am having Lap band (Realize) and am not worried about the surgery, just a little apprehensive about the life afterwards.

Hello i am having a revision on sept 29th so we share a surgery date. my prayers are with you , and i wish you great success.

Thank you so much for replying to my post.

You mention a "revision".  I am not sure what that is.  Could you let me know?

I appreciate your prayers and please know you are in my prayers as well.

Welcome, Bornagain3.  We're in this together.

Thanks, JackieBeth:

It is so good to know that there are other people out there who understand what this whole process is about and are there to cheer me on!

I had RNY on Sept 15th.  I was too worried about the surgery to think about life afterwards.  Everything went well with no complicaitons, so now its the life afterwards.  I am adjusting fine, but I think the hardest part has been chewing my food - alot!  I am still on pureed foods, but you still have to chew.  I dread the time I don't chew well, and then vomit.   I am NOT a big fan of vomiting.

Good Luck and hope to talk with you again.

Hey! I'm having surgery in the 29th also. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. Well I hope your surgery goes excellent and I hope that you do well afterwards.

             Sending lots of good wishes,

Hello, Wereypooh!

So the 29th is your day as well!  We will have to keep up with each other to motivate and encourage our weight loss and future good health.

Please know you will be in my prayers.

I am also excited but also nervous, not about the surgery but about "life afterwards".

Keep in touch!
