I've been looking on this forum for a while. I finally decided to register. I have my surgery scheduled for April 15. I start my pre-op diet next weekend. I am a little nervous. Wondering if I am making the right decision. Anyone else felt that way?

Hi! yes your making the right decision.. Nothing wrong with getting healthy! Its a long hard road .. but its so worth it! Good luck to you!

Welcome and congrats. I think most of us second guessed ourselves. Speaking for myself i was sure until a few days before surgery. In fact when i was waiting my turn i was considering leaving the hospital but glad i didn't.

Good LUCK

Your feelings are normal, but lap band works if you work the band. At goal and happy I had the surgery! Good luck and welcome to LBT.

I think we all felt that way. We've tried all the diets. Any time of WLS is usually the final end of the road. Look at it a fresh start to a new chapter in your life. This is a great site for information. Ask lots of questions... take it one day a time.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me.

I know I was very anxious the day before my surgery.. after my surgery I was a little down the first week feeling that I had made a mistake.. however that feeling soon left and I was involved in eating right and starting to walk and move... I am very happy I made the decision to get my band.. I have not felt this good in years.. You will do great.. and will be posting your accomplishments soon...

Big decisions are always accompanied by anxiety. But let us reassure you, this is going to be the best decision. Trust the band!

I myself am worried about it! April 8 here!

But I think of all the things I will be able to do! Walking in theme parks, fitting through turnstiles, plane seats, etc.

Thanks everyone for your support. I do feel a little better.
