New and nervous

 Ok...last comment to you .....Have a beautiful day!!!!!

Welcome Carla,

Dont worry about your surgery it is easy and you will be home before you know it :o) Hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones on here there is quite a few of us that never had gas problems , or to much soreness keeping my fingers crossed for you :o)

You are going to do very well that you have mentally prepared yourself its a tool only.  I was the same way when I went into surgery and I came out such a stronger person , stronger then I thought I ever was and I'm so proud of myself for that :o)

Just remember you can eat around the band, the band dont make your food choices for you, and the band dont make you get up exercise if you remember them things you should be just fine !!

When I first started on here one vet told me one thing that always stuck with me and I live by this rule 100% .  The band is all about moderation not deprivation !!!!  I live by this rule.  I eat what I want to eat, I still eat my "bad foods" but I do it all in moderation now and I have lost over 40 pounds, 25 inches and have went without a single fill in my band its empty

Good Luck Carla I wish you be the best of luck and if you need help or questions feel free to ask away or pm .

Thank you!!!  :)
