Surgery Tomorrow-Terrifed, Nervous....

I can't believe surgery day is here tomorrow. I just have this pit in my stomach that I can't get rid of. I keep looking at my list of pros and cons about the band:

Pros:

  1. Feel better about self
  2. Take off weight
  3. Minimally invasive
  4. Reversible
  5. Ok for pregnancy
  6. Live healthier lifestyle

Cons:

  1. Worried-slippage, erosion
  2. Surgery
  3. Regurgitate food
  4. Gain weight back

But, I just don't know if this is the right decision. Is that wrong so soon to surgery time tomorrow. I have so many doubts and have come this far. I didn't cheat once on my 2 week liquid diet. I don't know if I'm strong enough for this change. I just don't know. Pray for me.

Lapband surgery is the least invasive surgery and is a minor operation .. i am sure u will be fine and it sounds like u have the determination to make this band work for you so good luck and let us know how u get on and look forward to the rest of your life being healthy :)

I agree we need to concentrate on the ealth benefitds of this surgery not the small risks involved aftrer all we took a risk with our lives eating our way to obesity.
