I was in the same boat. just breathe, i cheated until the surgery. my dr did not turn me away, he worked very hard on me and i made out fine. he had to cut alot of muscle to get the band in and i have an immune defiency. i have been where you are and i can just offer a prayer for you. peace be on you and the angels protecting you in the operating room on that surgery day.
do not worry. i am sure this surgeon will be wonderful. i had a surgeon that took something out of my armpit the other year, and it took forever to heal, i was leary for a while to do the lapband but my other friends had this surgeon and i had complete peace when i went to do the surgery. Peace be with you. Good luck.
