Tomorrow is my day!
I was scheduled for Tuesday but they switched me, now I have surgery tomorrow morning. (by pass). I'm a little worried, the prep today has been a killer, but I'm almost there, on my way to being a big loser. I'll really beleive it after it happens. I'm also scared, what if i'm one of those who doesn't lose, or worse, gains it back. What if I fail at this too. You all know how it is, you've tried everything to lose weight, and failed and gained back. Nothing has ever worked. So I'm worrried.
Is this normal?
Just have your mind set that you can and will do this. Just do what your doctor tells you and try to keep your self busy and join a ymca or something to work out, enjoy the sauna, and do some water excerises. I haven`t been approved yet but I pray I am soon. I want this lapband more then anything. I`ll do anything to relieve some of my joint pain that I have.
If possible make a new buddy that is going through the same thing that you are and share each others day of your up and downs.
I wish you all the best, but I have a feeling you will do great with your results in so many ways. Keep in touch with me time to time and let me know how your doing. Don`t forget the before and during progress pictures along the way, they will help you also. God Bless....
I just had my lap band done 1 week ago tomorrow.
I have faith in you that you will succeed. I to am worried about not losing. I have it set in my mind that my goal is not to look like a supermodel but to be a supermodel for my daughter. I am so scared she will follow down the path that all of my family has taken and all it has led to is heart attack city.
I am proud of you for taking these steps.
Besides that my husband who is from Pittsburgh always says people from the big KY have more fight in them than any set of people he has ever met. SO I know you will do great.
