Hi, I'm new and have my band date for 30th March.. I have mixed emotions at the moment and lots of things going on..

I am worried about leaving my son overnight, we co-sleep and I'm still breastfeeding (hippy Mama :wub: ) and have not spent a night apart from him since he was born. He only has comfort feeds now at bed time and morning first thing and we are weaning (he turns two next week) but I do feel very anxious.

I'm also feeling a bit upset by my DH, he is very supportive but I'm a bit upset that he hasn't told me I don't need it or told me he doesn't care how I look. Sure, I would still go ahead because this is for me, but I guess it's just kind of upset me that he is so enthusiastic about the thought of me being smaller I am not excited at all, I just feel sad and guilty that it has come to this

Thanks for all the replies... I am starting to get excited now.. I guess we all go through a mixture of feelings and those feelings evolve from guilt, to fear to excitement and everthing in between. I'm just so glad to have found a forum where everyone 'gets it'

I know its going to be tough but I bought myself a size 14 (UK Size) dress as a goal. I can't wait for the day I get to wear it and maybe even smaller!!

As for my son, we are doing trial nights where he gets in bed with us and then I sneak off into another bed for the night, regardless of the surgery it what we were working towards anyway. I know it'll be fine.. Thanks again
