Nightmares...
I am 3.5 weeks from surgery and I'm starting to freak out a bit getting nightmares about choking and not being able to swallow, I have a very long flight home 3 weeks after surgery it's about 8 hours and I'm so afraid I will be sick on the flight. I suppose I am just getting pre surgery panic but boy is it keeping me awake

Who was the toughest person you decided to tell about getting the band?
My mother inlaw , she is a gossip and I only told her because I needed my son taken care of when I go for surgery as my husband will be with me, she is very critical of everyone's weight issues but her own and is a big saboteurs of people who are trying to lose weight

losing sympathy and offering an apology
When I first started reading the boards I found a lot of the comments harsh , I am not banded yet still a month away, but the more research I do and the closer I get ,the comments I once found harsh make so much more sense to me now and I find myself scratching my head at some of the things people do to themselves, there are slips that people have and there is personal sabotage
