Tis the night before banding.... I'll stop right there. Tomorrow is the day, and I feel numb. It is as if it is surreal. I cannot believe I am taking such a big step for myself. Can I do it? Am I worth it? What if there are complications? Too many questions in my head and not enough emotion. Well, I've come this far, 17 lbs pre-op. Please let everything go smooth with no gas pains! I also pray I don't have an anxiety attach on the table!

You are so worth it!!! Don't worry, they give you meds that make you feel so good and then you couldn't care less what they do to you. Then you wake up and it's all over!

You're in my thoughts and prayers! Everyone that goes through this experiences the same anxiety, so you are not alone.

Just think 1wk from now, you will be banded and feeling pretty good. You will be a success if you follow your Drs orders. If you really want this to work, you will make it work.

You are worth it, you can do it and your future is going to be awesome.

Try to think of the prize, not the "what if's".

Best Wishes

I felt the exact same way the night before. I suffer from panic attacks anyway so I was so worried I would have one, but they give you meds that work wonders. The 2 or 3 days after I had questioned my decision also.......could I have just tried ONE more thing to lose weight, was surgery really the way to go, what was i thinking....day 4 I felt much better and I again had my eye on the prize. I know why I did this and I am worth it. You ARE worth it, you WILL get through it, and things will only get better from here. I wish you the best of luck!

Ok the no gas pain doubtful but it will be totally worth it. I was banded 17 days ago as of day 14 I was down 8 pounds. I already feel better then I did before surgery. Welcome to the rest of your life!!! See ya on the other side.

I was banded today. Surgery went fine. I was very weepy afterwards. I'm having pain but not a lot of it due to gas. Sleepy time, who knows I might even sleep walk....
