SO SCARED!! for the surgery, the pain, and the mental part of it! I just keep dreaming of what comes after but not sure if this is truly the right choice!?

I'm in the same situation.. but it is the right choice and we are going to look and feel awesome!

I got banded a week ago. The reality is that beforehand I did everything I could to NOT think about it even as I was being dropped off at the hospital the morning of the surgery. I just focused on what was at hand and trusted my doctors. Before I knew it I woke in the recovery room and was quickly sent to my room. No problems. Sure I had a little soreness. I had a lot more gas than I expected but it passes. There were no surprises. I was up walking pretty quickly, as are most people. I kept thinking, "This is it????" And yeah, it was.

Seriously, it seems like its so much scarier than it really is.

I know that it is a scary proposition...but, you can be successful! Whenever those fears begin to take over, imagine the YOU that you want to be. I promise that every last second of it is worth it.

That's good to know, as I've had my fair share of doubt and loathing of being cut. Also all the other fears of failure, erosion, ect
