Suffering from panic disorder,and dealing with the outcome of being banded scares me.im so scared that down the road,if i have complications.vomiting, etc.Its on my mind all the time.Does anyone else have panic disorder.The only way i was able to go through with the surgery,was xanax.If it was not for that,there was no way,i would have walked into the hospital for the procedure.

I had the same concern I was scheduled last year for the Lapband and cancelled my surgery, but I have done so much research and read so many blogs this past year that if you follow the Post-op diet example liquids then mushies and chew and eat SLOWLY then I think we will be just fine. I have 3 co-workers that had it done, 1out of 3 is losing weight and only had one nausea episode. She is losing weight looking great, the the other 2 are often in the bathroom vomiting after a meal and the weight loss have SLOWED down. But I see they are eating food that should be a NO, NO! So if I was you join as many Lapband fourms and google your questions and concerns the more knowledge you have the more comfortable you will feel.

Yes, and I still take Xanax every day for it. I was banded in 2007, had my ups and downs, and for me the panic is not worse and not better before or after. I am glad I had it done, but it isn't a cure all, I can chow down as much chocolate as ever, but it is great for portion control. I didn't suffer after the surgery, but I did as I was told, to the letter.

Hope you get it sorted out soon
