I feel the same way! If I get excited about something I have to think of all the bad things that could happen. I just had my upper GI done and don't have the results yet. I'm afraid they will find something that will either postpone the surgery or make it so I can't have it at all! Same thing with the bloodwork I had done this morning.

I'm not banded yet, but I haven't told anyone that I'm even considering it except for my husband. I don't plan on telling anyone. :frown: I don't want comments on how much I'm eating, or not eating, etc. I work in a small office and I know my co-worker would be watching everything I eat.. She already comments on my eating habits now...

I'm not telling anyone at this point other than my husband. Not my kids, or my mom or co-workers. I work in a very small office (three of us) and the other female co-worker already comments on everything I do, what I eat, drink, etc. I'm not even close to getting approval yet since I just started but I've started making changes already and she has already noticed (portion sizes, types of food & drink, etc) and started commenting. All of this also goes with living in a very small (8,000) rural town. I'll keep it to myself, thank you very much! :redface:

Good morning... I'm just starting to research the Lapband. I've been reading this forum for a few days and thought I'd just say Hi... I am going to attend a seminar in Reno in the next few weeks... I'm hoping that if I get approved by insurance that I can have the surgery in Reno rather than Sacramento... Is attending the seminar the first step or should I see my primary physician first? Thanks!
