Heyyy Congratulations for having a date!!! I'm really happy for you since i know you tried hard for having a band!!! Bravo!!! i'm very proud of you! Good Luck! and we will wait you on melting side!

i had panic attacks in the past, was the most scary experience in my life, but now i have only some general anxiety and not always.. i'm on Xanax and Seropram for a long time and i'm happy and without problems.. as about the Band, you wont have any problem! but i think 1st you must heal the panics and the anxiety and then to think about losing weight! i hope you have found a good therapist.. and by the way NEVER forget: NOBODY never died by panic attack!!! Good Luck and i want you to know that i feel you completely!!! it sucks this disorder and makes life miserable .. i know i know
