Hi All,

Tomorrow moring at 6 am I will be introduced to my new buddy and tool, the Lapband. I am both terrified and excited. We are going to stay nearby in our motorhome (the hospital is a bit far away) so getting to the hospital won't be a huge hassle. I will update everyone after I get back. Was everyone as scared as I feel? Part of me wants this so bad and the other wants to run screaming the other way. :cry I hope all goes well so everyone cross a body part for me. Fingers, legs, arms, eyes. Hey if you got two of them, cross them for me. :cross-eye Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janet:D

Janet~ I'm wishing you lots of luck!! I'm sure you will do fine. Speedy recovery wishes are being sent your way. It is only normal to be nervous... but you will not regret having this surgery. You will be so glad you did. The next few weeks will be the hardest... but hang it there. It gets better every day. Congratulations on the begining of the road to a new you!!! ((((HUGS)))) My thoughts and prayers will be with you!!!! Sip you liquids and walk as much after surgery as you can.My advice is ~ Get a heating pad and some gas X ! You will need them.

Janet, enjoy bandland. Every day will be different and better than the day before. Every one gets nervous at some point. Just think of how great it will be in the future. Good luck. Celeste

Good Luck! What you are feeling right now is just normal! Post and let us know how your are doing when you can!

Good luck Janet. I just got banded on the 20th and I felt the same way. You will be ok. Just remember why you are doing this. Keep us posted.

hey Good Luck! Congratz for your new tool

Janet-

I'm with ya there! I go for surgery tomorrow, as well. Yesterday, I was in a total downer mood. Got very depressed. Bitched to myself, for getting into this situation. Hoping the 'toolband' will help me along with being healthier and happier.

I have to be at the hospital at 8:00, surgery at 11:00. Today, I'm trying to keep busy. Doing house cleaning, sorting/tossing mail, and planning to get outside and do some yardwork. Also, doing some outside errands. Getting the Gaaaaaaas-X and other items to help me along the way.

Positive thoughts your way!!

Mikie
