Good Luck! You will be fine, it really went well for me. I had mine on Feb. 9th at the OCC.

Thanks Lindsay!

you won't be one of those who wont lose weight if you don't let it happen. We all know the formula to lose weight... eat healthy and excercise... WLS just helps you do it.

Hey if my memory hasn't been totally lost, I'm pretty sure your surgery is today Tuesday...thinking of you, and sending you lots of positive energy. Remember........initaslly gas is an issue, so when it happens, don't panic it's normal. K:)

sorry Olivia, I still haven't sorted out the ins and outs of this forum. I just sent youa reply via my email so I hope you get it, ifnot let me know and I'll copy and paste here

I do know there are some lap banders who believe rhat is the only way to go, but so far I can tell you it takes very little to leave me feeling satisfied. I did start soft food diet a few days early because the flu took so much out of me,and whatever I do I do not want to loose weight really fast. Causes more loose skin and other stuff, prefer a slow loss. I am expecting to have some plastic surgery because at 56yrs old, my skin just won't bounce back like yours will. When do you leav...

I'm leaving Tuesday morning and I'm supposed to have the surgery Wednesday although I am pushing to have both pre op and surgery on the same day. We'll see. I got the flu this week during the 9 day liquid diet and I had to eat a few meals. The liquids only were just making me so weak. Starting tomorrow though I am strict liquid only for the next two days so wish me luck!!!

do not take it as a negative sign. It is just another opportunity for you to prove how much you want this new life.

Thanks! I needed to hear that!
