HI I WILL BE BANDED JANUARY 16, 2010. I TOO AM VERY SCARED & NERVOUS!! WHEN I WENT TO TALK TO MY DR AND SET UP MY SURGERY DATE HE WENT OVER A LIST WITH ME...ON THAT LIST WAS DEATH TOLL FROM GASTRIC BANDING; IT WAS UNDER 1%!!! THAT REALLY HELPED ME AS WITH ANY SURGERY THERE IS A CHANCE OF DEATH. I AM HAVING CRAZY THOUGHTS ABOUT NOT WAKING UP AND WHAT IF'S...BUT I KNOW IF I KEEP GOING THE WAY I AM (BIGGER & BIGGER) I WILL DIE.

DO YOU HAVE A SURGERY DATE?? I'D LOVE TO KEEP IN TOUCH :smile2:

SO EXCITED!!! I WENT TO MY SEMINAR LAST WEEK...AND NOW HAVE MY APT. W/ THE SURGEON TO TALK WITH HIM THIS THURSDAY ABOUT THE PROCEDURE :biggrin: THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG VERY QUICKLY...I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS...BUT READY TO GET THIS STARTED. I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT I'LL LOOK LIKE A YEAR FROM NOW :thumbup: IT'S SO EXCITING!!! :sad:
