NERVES KICKING IN!!

I'll be banded in 5 Days and my anxiety is in overdrive. I wakeup thinking about surgery, i keep watchin YouTube videos of the procedure. Then I begin to think... Hey you've lost 50lbs in 6months, do you REALLY need the band.... I already know the answer.. YES I DO. How can I ease my nerves & my mind to help me realize this is going to be the BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE....?

      If you've lost 50lbs in 6 months, just think of what you can do with a tool to help you out. You've done a great job so far and you will continue to do so after your surgery.

      I had to stop watching utube and the neg. post on the board, I KNEW the band is right for me, but all the other stuff sure feeds into our fears... Good luck to you!

      it was the best decision I've ever made for myself and for my health. I feel great even tho I've got more to lose. I know you are nervous and that's normal but when surgery day came for me I wasn't,
