My surgery is this Friday and yesterday it really hit me that im doing this,im feeling so much anxiety that it thought about cancelling it, I know this feeling is normal but thats not helping. Any advice?

Take a deep breath, and just know that it is worth it in the end. The only thing I wish I would have done different is having it done sooner. It was the best decision that I could have made. I love my band.

Just a suggestion....go to YouTube and search lapband before and after pictures. My surgery is Wednesday and I was freaking out to, but after watching those videos it got my excited again!

Hope it helps you too

My surgery is Friday too, and I'm freaking out too. However, I'm a self-pay patient and have already paid for the whole thing, so that is keeping me from backing out! It also helps that everyone on this site seems to say they are so happy the got it. Wish I could be more helpful but just know you are not alone!

I wasn't very nervous because I was very ready. But I have to say, the surgery and recovery have been so much easier than I thought they would be. Just take one step at a time. You will do great and you will be very happy for doing it.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the encouraging words :-D
