As stated previously, my date is set for 3/13. As the days get closer, the more scared and nervous I get. I keep telling myself that everything is going to be ok. Most of the stories I have read on this website are amazing and I too want to tell everyone about my journey. :eek::confused:

Thank you WPA. I'm counting my days, but I too am afraid that I'm going to fail. After a year of being banded, you haven't experienced any bad side effects or complications?

Thank you, all of your responses are very helpful. I"m glad I found this website.

Did anyone experience a panic attack before surgery? if yes, were they able to give you something to relax?:cursing:

Thank you. I really appreciate your input. Today was my visit to the Psychologist. Everything went well. Now, I"m just counting the days. The only thing I"m scared of is freaking out when I see the anesthesiologist.

Hello everyone, I"m scheduled for lap band surgery on 3/13. I'm nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. Most of my friends tell me not to go through it and some tell me to do it. I'm confussed. What are some of the things I'm going to feel after surgery? How long is the pain? Has anyone had the lap band for more than 3 years without any problems?
