Hello all! I went to my Dr. on Tuesday and filled out the rest of my paperwork and got my pre- op picture taken and as I was leaving, she said see you Monday morning for the start to your new life. Oh my gosh, I have been nervous ever since. I have waited over 1 yr for this and now I am so nervous that it is difficult for me to sleep. I know that the surgery will go fine, however I am afraid of failing yet another time. Anyone else have jitters that are getting banded soon?

Oh My Gosh! I felt the exact same way! I've been dieting since I was 8 years old and have failed in one way or another-obviously since I am now 53!!! You WILL be successful with this. I know I will be and have already been successful!

Everyone has the fear that they will be the rare person who doesnt lose a pound! I felt that way because I had been obese and done every diet, pill, and exercise regimen there is and obviously failed them all. In fact, I think I gained a little after every attempt.

Long story short, this has been pretty easy and I can say not only that I have succeeded but I can now say with complete confidence I know I will be at a normal weight for life! I love my band and so will you!
