I'm about to be banded

Hello everyone. I'm new here, but I wanted to get started posting. I am scheduled to be banded Oct. 14. I am so nervous. Not just about the surgery, but I also worry that I will fail at this too. Is this normal? I have tried everything out there to lose wt. The most I have every been able to lose is 30 lbs and then I gained it right back. Does everyone worry about this? Am I setting myself up for failure by worrying about this? Any and all advice/suggestions welcome.:lol:
