LAP-BAND Patients

I've been thinking of doing this lapband ever since I heard of it in 2003.  My past room-mate weighed over 400 lbs and decided to get a gastric by-pass but after 6 years he has gained more than half of his weight back, so I started to research the lap-band vs sleeve and by-pass.  I knew I wanted the least invasive surgery possible and wanted something that would last me longer so the lap-band was a no-brainer to me. Well, my surgery is at 9am tomorrow morning- January 25, 2010.  I think I am past nervous.  Now I have entered into anxious.  I am excited to see what I can do and how much weight I can lose.  It's been a long time coming, a bout 30 yrs.  And I know that something has to change as my once good vitals taken by my doctors are now turning not so good.  Well, tomorrow is the day.  It's now 4:13pm and I have to go downstairs and drink some chicken broth.  :-)  Ummm good.  I know it will get better from here.As I told myself on New Years Eve.....it's my time to shine!!
