Trooper Wifey

Wow, this post has really hit home for me. I have been researching this procedure since about February 2011 and recently went through the steps in getting it done. (classes, clearances,approval etc) I have breezed through everything and I am now at the very end, with my procedure date on August 29th, 2011 (Monday!) And I am really freaking out. At one point last week, I actually cancelled my pre-op appointment and just today re-scheduled it. I am too an RN, and I swear we are the worst patients. I have been trying to convince myself that I can do this on my own, but in reality--I know I need this help, which are hard words for me to swallow. I am worried most about complications and I can't help but think, am I going to be 80/90 years old with this band, will something happen to me, and for the RNs out there-- what if down the road I am uncoinscious and they try to put an OG tube in me, will I be damaged!!? I hope that I am just over-analyzing things and being my own worst enemy on this.
