couple of days before surgery ...and freaking I know Im going to have to talk to someone after surgery....but. right now I still don't know what I want to do? I want the band...I have been waiting for over a year....Iv researched.... Im scared of the complications that can happen... Im scared the band will not work for me.... so many pple say that if you eat allot of junk food the band is not for you??? that got me thinking?....if you didnt eat the wrong foods then how did you gain all the weight before your band? my thoughts are all over the place? I really want this to work. any advice? what made you go through with it? did you second guess your decision?

Just wondering if there is anyone who is banded or who knows what it is like to be banded with bronchitis and asthma when I get sick I get sick for a long time.....my coughing can last up to 10 days and I loose alot of sleep. and its a deep hard cough. so can all that coughing make the band slip? what if you get sick a few days after you get your band?
