Thank you. I am really dreading this whole process at this point.

Hello, everyone. I have been reading info on this site, but just joined last night. I am Dawn and will be having the Band with plication tomorrow. I have read a lot of posts this morning, and honestly, I am thinking what in the world have I gotten myself into?? I was originally set on having the sleeve, but always had a problem with staying in a hospital for 3 days, and having part of my body removed when it was not medically necessary. So, after my doctor mentioned this procedure, I changed my mind and agreed to this. But after reading these posts, I am really nervous. I'm okay with pain, as I have a kind of a high tolerance, but I'm not okay with nausea. ugh. My mother has been on me about my weight for a long time, so I'm mostly doing this because of her - I am really wondering if I made the right decision now, though. Although, I guess it's too late now. A completely off the wall question, how do you add the tickers? I tend to ask a bunch of questions, and I have already gotten more info from reading this site from my surgeon, so I will thank anyone and everyone for your answers and support in advance.

I am having the procedure tomorrow and am really nervous after reading these posts. Any recommendations, please?

I have been on protein shakes since April 18th and it has been the most miserable 3 weeks of my life, outside of losing someone. I have been an emotional basket case and this weekend, I have been able to have nothing but water, crystal light and broth. I was originally going to have the sleeve, but had 2 major problems being an inpatient hospital stay and having part of my body removed. I am having the procedure (band with plication) done tomorrow and just want to be done with this whole mess. What I would like to know, please, is did anyone ever have second thoughts, or wonder if they were doing the right thing with this? I am really feeling very isolated right now....
