Hello Lilbelly, I cannot tell you how nervous I was right before hand. I actually cried all night, because I thought I was making the wrong decision, but then I had a revelation right before surgery that this was something I was meant to do and it was my time to shine. I am really glad I went through with it. You will be absolutely fine and just remember your doing this for your own personal investment. Plus afterwards, we are going to look soo good!! lol

How was your surgery ladyhawk01?? Mine was successful, just recovering now.

I'm having my surgery today also. You can do it. I'm glad to see I'm not alone on this day. We got this, it's our time to shine!

Hello Everyone!! My name is Lauren and I am currently a junior in college. My surgery is scheduled for May 17 and I just began my pre-op diet today. I have battled low self esteem and weight issues for as long as I can remember, and I am ready to make a change for the better in my life! I am so glad I found this collection of forums, because I have been having extreme nervousness about the procedure. Words of Motivation and advice are desperately needed! I have attached a picture of myself at my current weight of 240.

I am not having plication done. I decided to just go with the lapband by itself. Thank you so much for your kind words!
