I am getting banded on Monday 3/19 and I am super excited. However, I am super nervous about complications or something. I do worry too much and its probably natural to worry I know. I have made the decision to get the lap band to help ultimately save my life but I guess I worry that something could happen on Monday unexpectedly. My emotions are on overload right now...I have kicked the pre-op diets but and lost 13 pounds so far. And I know that i can do this and be successful...just getting scared of the surgery part. I just want it to be over now and be post-op! I want to continue to lose and feel better and better so I can enjoy playing with my daughter. I know this is the best decision I have made for myself and my family but right now it feels not so great! I would appreciate any support!

Good luck tomorrow!! Update us!!

Hi Judy- My daughter is 3..I may have said 4 by mistake and yes she is why I had my c-section which I keep telling myself was a much bigger surgery than this. And yes time does fly...It seems like she was only just born yesterday or only that little 2 year old in my picture...tonight she gave me so many kisses....made me almost cry...she is so sweet. My nervousness is still there but less somehow and I just want it over and look forward to the new me. I survived the clear liquid diet today so that just makes me feel even more empowered in this journey!

I am sure your husband is just stressed with you and for you so I am sure he will be more supportive as time goes by and it not...that talk is a good idea. And I think it is hard for anyone to understand completely especially about your eating habits etc if they are not in your shoes. But I am sure he just wants what is best for both of you. And I feel the same way about not being able to do it without the band..I have tried so much...My husband said well if you can do the pre-op diet...can't you just keep doing that? I said no way...I can do it because there is an end to it and good things are coming..If I could just "do it", I already would have!

I'm off to try to get some sleep as I have to get up so early. Thanks for the thought and prayers.

i know that its getting close for you now... all the best. look forward to hearing from you on the banded side. take care.

I'm getting banded on Monday also! I have been laying in bed scared to death about what's going to happen. Im traveling out to get it done, i think the hardest part is leaving my dsughter for three days :'(

Nervous with you..... I'm get bannded Tuesday at 6:30am.

Hi all and thanks again for the support. I am officially banded and was soooo nervous but everything went great. I arrived at hospital @ 530 am and went into surgery about 8....we were able to leave hospital by 11 am so I was home before lunch time. Yesterday I hurt pretty badly and today I am more sore but its all worth it. I feel good enough today to go watch my daughter because it is her parent observation week in her dance class...that's pretty good to me...I can wait to get fully recovered and moving forth n my new life!
