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!

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
