Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Need support on my journey

HI,

I AM ABOUT TO BE BANDED ON AUGUST 31, 2010. I AM STARTING MY PRE-SUGERY DIET ON AUGUST 17TH. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY SURGERY BECAUSE I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW CHANGES TO MY BODY, BUT AS THE SUGERY DATE GETS CLOSER, THERE ARE DAYS WHEN I'M NOT SURE IF I WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH IT. IS THIS NORMAL?? I NEED A FRIEND TO TALK TO THROUGH THIS JOURNEY. I AM IN BUFFALO, NY. LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING!:)

I certainly was scared 6+ years ago when I made my decision - I even had some buyer's remorse - take a look at Lap Band Surgery - What Have I Done? Buyers Remorse Is Not Uncommon

If you weren't nervous and excited at the same time, now that would be outside of the norm:smile:

Everyone on all of these boards is there to provide help for you. Please feel free to PM or send me emails with specific questions or concerns. Best of luck to you:thumbup:
