Surgery Next Week!

[Misty1973]

I’m having revision from the band to bypass!! I’m really excited, but also nervous and a little sad about remembering how I lost my best friend- “food” before.

Congrats Misty. When is your surgery? How long ago did you have the band placed? When you lost food before, did you replace it with a new best friend (exercise, hobbies, clothes, etc.)?

Surgery is Tuesday the 10th-
I had the band since 2009. I replaced the loss with something- but I don’t remember what... I had a very taxing job at that time, so probably work!!

It's great that since you've been through this before, you're well aware of the psychological impact. Some folks don't realize how much we actually come to rely on food for comfort. I'm sure you'll do great with bypass!
