Hi, my name is Deborah. My surgery is scheduled for 6/28 and I am nervous. I live in the North Texas area and my surgery will be done by Dr. Adam Smith.

Deborah,

I just joined tonight, as well. Just had my surgery on May 29th. I live in Granbury -- surgeon was Dr. Brad Hart.

I think this is a very scary venture, but just think of the great rewards!!

Can't wait to hear back from you!

Hi, my name is Deborah. My surgery is scheduled for 6/28 and I am nervous. I live in the North Texas area and my surgery will be done by Dr. Adam Smith.

Nervous about what?

I think I was mostly nervous(afraid in my case) about how much I was going to miss taco bell, Coldstone, pizza, or even my own mexican food which is very good. My deep love of food made me fearful of how much I was going to miss it. I was never really afraid of the surgery or the process. I knew that would be a distant memory a few months after the surgery. The thought that I couldn't indulge myself with the foods I really loved scared me.

But, now I'm 6 months out and TaDa! I can eat those things if I want but I don't have to eat too much. And I'm good with that. Sorry to vent all over your thread but my advice is to think about all the wonderful things you'll be doing as a thin person. Don't worry, be happy!

Welcome Deborah. I am from the Houston area and am going to be banded June 25. Good luck on your journey. Keep us posted. I start preop diet in 5 days wish me self control.

I'm getting banded on July 2nd and although I'm ready, I'm getting a tiny bit nervous... These boards are amazing and give a real world aspect to the journey that the "documentation" lacks. I can't wait but at the same time I can't wait for it to be over... You are among friends, trust me. WE know.

What everyone has said here is so true!! It is normal to be nervous, but think what the great outcome will be! Life will be changed for the better. I was banded in January of 2011 and yes I was extremely nervous. Those days seemed to take forever to pass, but now looking back I can't remember why I was so nervous..lol. As each week goes by..month goes by..you start seeing the big picture and realize that you never want your life or body to be like it was before surgery. I wish all of you the best and welcome to the new rest of your life!!

I am also going to be banded this month on the 20th by Dr. Smith. I'm on the liquid diet day 1!!!!
