Hi all! I am so happy to meet other nutsos. I am bipolar as well as many of the people who replied. I actually believed that me making this decision to be banded was one of my many episodes. And maybe it was at first but I figured I'd listen to what my counselor told me about all my bright ideas during my highs and I actually waited it out for now 6 months. I've been reading and researching and now I am almost a week away from my surgery. I've made myself sick and nauseous thinking about what I'm putting myself through, in fact I am so nervous about this that my manic highs are continous where I can't sleep at all. I understand many of you out there and I'm glad you have had the courage to speak about it. Is there any advice anyone can give me to better eaze the process? If you've already been banded, did it help? God Bless!
