Just finished pre op and I am a bundle of nerves!! I stopped telling friends and family about surgery due to so many negative comments so I feel like I'm in this battle by myself!! Nervous but ready for surgery! I have read so many comments and I guess everyone has their own experience just wonder what mine will be like??? The dr and staff was wonderful.. Has anyone in Georgia had the lapband?? Need some buddies!!

Please don't worry that you are in this all by yourself... you have this forum. I'm looking at getting banded in May or June depending on insurance and all that, and if it wasn't for all the helpful people on the forum I probably would have given up months ago. I'm scared too, but I'm confident my surgeon is experienced and won't screw me up... :-) Congrats on a surgery date and keep us updated with your progress!!

You are not alone! I have yet to tell anyone other than my mom, husband and best friend. I am also scared of others reactions but you have support. Stay positive and everything will be great!
