It is normal to feel scared.You are about to change your life for the good.Just remember the band is a tool, my Dr said the first 4-6 weeks r about healing not loosing and do what the Dr says.I was banded on Jan 12 off 2 of my meds!!! lost 32 lbs. I had one set back,port was infected,I am better now. God Bless:thumbup:
