Crazy nervous!

I have been on OH for a couple of months and cant believe I've never found this forum.  I am 23 years old and having my surgery (RNY) on Wednesday!

So just wondering... as us being young still... do you feel as normal as your peers.  Of course I mean better and healtheir with losing weight.  But like what about going out to dinner, or having ****tails?  Do you still do that?

I am just so nervous for Wednesday!  I had the Lap-Band already and it had a mechanical faluire so it is being removed.  I dont want to fail again!

I'm sure once your healed you will be able to do everything a normal 20 something does. As for the going out for ****tails so of the girls on the board do this every once in a while but they drink maybe 1 possibly 2 drinks compaired to someone who hasnt had WLS  and can have a whole lot more. Your supposed to wait 6months- to a year before you start drinking though from what I've heard. I'm only just over a week out of surgery so I haven't done that yet, good luck on wednesday

hey girl wellcome!!!!. congrats 4 your surgery!!!! younger is better lol.

about your cuestions ... hell yeahh!. 1th 6 months are kindda weird `cuz you have to be carful about eating out. and stuff like that. but i never stayed home beause of that. i always found the way to enjoy my self around my friends.

and now i`m a year out. and you could never guess i had WLS.!! I drink and eat preaty much as a normal persib. now i`m able to eat like my thin girlfriends so you wouln´t notice that i had some restriction. yes i drink when i go out I try to no drink to much `cuz it can be a transfer adiction but I love to have a couple of drinks when i go out with my friends. life is more enjoyble now! soooo
yeah i feel normal, and great!.

and about the band problem you might wanna talk to ana. she had the same problem and she just had a revision to VSG. she is been so brave about all this situation she can help you out dealing with this. and she is a very lovely girl. u are gonna love her.

good luck and keep us posted!!!
hugs.

you will be fine. when it comes to going out to a resturant with friends you just ask the waitress to not cook it with all the butter or tell them put the butter on the side. every thing can be modified. I also know that going out to eat means i get two or so extra meals left out of this one to last me a couple of days. you will be fine and welcome to the board. I was told i could have alchol now and im 3mnths out i had one it was tolarable but i got tipsy faster. I am glad I had the surgery while im still young. I am able to walk and do what evver i want preaty much since losing some weight. so good luck on wednesday you will be in my prayers.

Good luck on your surgery... !!!!  We'll be thinking of ya... Ill be in your place 6 weeks from today!
