I only had mine done June 1st, and still think it was the best thing I could do. Remeber the improvement in your health over the long haul, that will benefit you and your family. I remember sitting in preop and suddenly second guessing my decision, but my husband reminded me that I needed to do it for me and my health. You will have no regrets!
Good Luck. I totally understand. I was banded June 1st. All my family and friends couldn't believe I would take such a "drastic" (their words) measure, but I hated stepping out of the shower and seeing myself in the mirror. I've lost 21 lbs and feel great. Best thing I ever did for me!
I am so glad I stumbled on this site! I was banded June 1st and did great until last weekend, and suddenly I'm consumed with worrying about my next meal. I'm sure I gained. I go next week for my second fill and I too am concerned about being reprimanded. Until this point I didn't even feel like I was "dieting"
