sooo....this long pre-op process of almost over...surgery date Feb.7th! i'm so ready for the new journey to begin. I can't stop eating this week, but I start Pre-op liquid diet this Monday.

I am scared to death of surgery day. Stupid me, watched the actual lap band surgery on the internet and now i'm freaking out. I have a lot of emotions...i'm scared about the surgery, I'm anxious all the time, i can't picture myself thin again, I am afraid I will miss eating food, I didn't tell people I was having surgery and I am so sick of the negative comments - i dont want people to ask how i am loosing weight. BUT I AM SOOOOO EXCITED and READY for this. LOOKING FOR SUPPORT COMMENTS.

Hi-

I am also being banded on 2/7. You post is as if I wrote it. I feel exactly the same way you do. I am excited, scared, anxious, etc. Since we are starting this journey together lets try to help and support each other. I know I will need help along the way. :blink:

This is an opportunity to finally do the right thing and take control of our health and wellbeing. We can do this...one day at a time.

We diserve this!

I hope you will stay in touch so we can share our triumphs and challenges!!! :rolleyes:

Enjoy the day!

Hi Mel--

I am getting banded on 2/10 and can so totally relate to the questions/freak out moments right now! But everytime I start to freak out I keep my goal in mind and it's still more powerful than the doubts, maybe that will help you too?

Please be sure to keep me posted on how everything goes!!
