I did it! Everything went well and feeling fine. Your words of support meant so much. Thanks! Erun

Thanks so much for your kind words. It's been such a long journey and it's just surreal that tomorrow is the day. I know that having doubts is normal andI just have to pray that everything will be fine. Letting go and putting my life in someone else's hands will be the toughest challenge of my life do far. Good luck to all of you on your continued journey.

I can't believe surgery day is here tomorrow. I just have this pit in my stomach that I can't get rid of. I keep looking at my list of pros and cons about the band: Pros: Feel better about self Take off weight Minimally invasive Reversible Ok for pregnancy Live healthier lifestyle Cons: Worried-slippage, erosion Surgery Regurgitate food Gain weight back But, I just don't know if this is the right decision. Is that wrong so soon to surgery time tomorrow. I have so many doubts and have come this far. I didn't cheat once on my 2 week liquid diet. I don't know if I'm strong enough for this change. I just don't know. Pray for me.

I was so relieved reading these posts. Thank you! I have been a nervous worrier for the past two weeks. I have to say that being on a liquid diet has been a challenge, but I haven't cheated once. It's crazy for me to think that I've come this far to give up now. The fear of surgery is very real for me since I've never been under the knife before. But I keep reaffirming my goals for the future, and I'm not willing to give up on myself so easily. At this point my friends and family must be sick of me talking about the surgery on Mon 6/18. So now my attitude is, "get it over with already!". My counselor told me that courage and fear go together and I think it's helped ease my worries. But on Monday morning I hope I feel this confident. Any suggestions?

I'm scheduled for the 18th and am freaking out that surgery day is almost here. But, I know that it's time to get healthier and enjoy life more It's been a really hard couple of weeks on the liquid diet, but the end is in sight. Best wishes to all of you having surgery in June. It's great that we have this forum to meet others who are going through this change. It makes me feel less alone in the process. ???Š
