I had my surgery a week ago tomorrow and I can't keep from getting panic attacks. I am almost panicky because I am not allowed to eat and am afraid I will never be able to go out again and eat at all! I am wondering what I did to myself! Were any of you scared when you weren't allowed to eat anything?

wow so glad that i read this thread. I had my surgery 3/18/11 I freaked out my poor hubby when I said "god, i feel toughest feelings i am eguilty like I just slaughtered myself'. yeah way over dramtic i had guilt over having him slave over me when I chose to do this, he assured me that my guilt was "stupid' love him xox

So glad you posted this. I got banded on the 18th and have had similar thoughts. I said the same thing to my nurse the day after surgery but we are going to be fine. I have a close friend who lost 85 lbs with the band. She got it a year ago. She is my main support. We can do this and we will be able to eat in moderation again. I have terrible gas pain right now but keep thinking positive. We are strong and will get through this with God's help! I don't want to offend you, but without God, I would be a constant mess.

So glad you posted this and remember you are not alone in this feeling!!

Love my friends on here. Again, I feel the same way! We are surgery day buddies....I got my band 3/18. So glad I am not alone in having these feelings. I felt like a terrible mother/wife today. It will get better.
