Well congratulations, you are normal. Nervous and anxious is what happens about now. I always used to do the same thing if I traveled without my kids. You will be fine, and healthier for longer of their lives! Take a deep breath and be happy!

During the seminar I went to, the doctor said more people died from NOT having the surgery (due to obesity issues) than the control groups that "needed" it and didn't get it done. :)

I'm getting banded on feb 15th and I have been super nervous for the past week. I guess I thought getting approved would be too good to be true, and nothing good ever happens to me. I honestly was not expecting to be approved because I've been trying to lose weight for 10 years and have never lost a pound. I keep thinking maybe I should stay the way I am now, unhealthy and overweight because I love food so much. Even though a day doesn't go by with me thinking about losing weight and becoming healthy, it would be so much easier to stay fat forever. I don't want to do this, I have to do this. I know I have to change and as scary as it may be, I know the lap band and committing to this new life style will only reap benefits. You got this girl!!

This post was so poignant for me! I could not have said it any other way as I feel EXACTLY the same.

I have just decided I am NOT going to give up my Quest to get banded! Thank u so much...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
