This is for everyone and anyone. I think that everything is falling into place as far as getting ready for the scheduling of the surgery and I am falling to pieces. I am worried if I will be able to accomplish what I have set out to do, that is succeeding in losing weight with the help of the band.

My worries are will I be able to follow all the rules,what to eat,when to eat,how much to eat.will I over eat, how will I know if I do. If there are problems how will I know?

I know that at one time or another you all have went through all the newness of the band and we have to start somewhere, but in reading all that I have read in this forum there seem to be problems I am not sure that I will recognize weather it is health related or band related. HOW WILL I KNOW...Is it that hard to stay on a so called diet with the band...don"t get me wrong I never expected it to be easy but I am worried that I will fail AGAIN...but with a lot larger bill to pay. If any one can Help me please I need some feed back....my mind is in a whirl..excited for the future but scared of failure and I need to succeed for myself FIRST as well as my husband, children and grandchildren as I want to be around for a long time:faint:

:nervous Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that your're definitely not alone in your feelings here. I've had similar feelings myself. Anyway, I do believe that you will succeed because you made an effort to reach out to others and you seem sincere. That's what it takes--being devoted. I haven't had my surgery yet but I have prayed about it and feel at peace with this. I encourage you to keep reaching out to others--like in this forum for support. I'm kinda new at communicating in this type of format but I'm learning because I know how important it is to have support from family and friends and those who are going through the same thing. May God bless you.
