Congrats Valerie, I am hoping to be banded on June 15th...Scared to death but also looking forward to it. I hope your surgery went well and all the emotions that followed. :myscared: Cat

Thank you so much i really needed to hear that.... I appreciate everyone's support here. It is scary but I know in the long run it will be the best thing I could have ever done.

Thank you all for being there for me....I have been reading lots of threads here and somedays I feel real excited and then somedays usually at night I start getting scared and start to get panic attacks...I have been thinking about asking my doctor to give me something for the anxiety have anyone else done this.

<p>Hi everyone....I am new here and tis has all been so fast for me. I went to my internal specialist back in October and found out after he reccommended lapband that my ins. didn't cover it. So I gave up and just thiss month decided to be self pay. I went to see my internal doctor yesterday and he was more excited than I was that I was going to get lap banded. I went to consult with Dr. Spivak last night and he said he wanted to know what stage my sarcoidosis was before he performed surery and I would have to be done at the hospital because of my intubation dificulty but he would do it soon as I wanted. I go see my pulmonary doctor in the morning and hope he says go for it too. I am hopin to be banded sometime in June before change my mind. I am scared but excited that I can soon become healthier with my incurable disease. I am so scared that something will go wrong and I will leave my baby girl out there alone. Does the scared feeling ever go away?</p> <p>Worry Wart.</p>
