okay...so Im flying to MX on Friday to be banded by Dr. Sanchez.........and Im so worried. I know that Im doing the right thing!! I also know that life changes are coming....and Im excited..scared..and a whole lot of other things I cant explain. Im also going this alone...Im worried about silly things like...loosing my glasses between pre-op and recovery...Im worried about loosing my passport and getting stuck in MX with no way home....My head is full of so much stuff!!!!!!!!!!! I need a little clarity a little .....bright light of hope...lol.

The days just before getting the band can be an emotional roller coaster. I went through moments of excitement, panic, excitement again. But, once the actual morning of the surgery arrived, I was completely at peace. If you have done your research and committed to making this work, you will do just fine.

I did not have my band done in Mexico, so I cannot speak from experience, but I have read several posts from other bandsters who did and am hoping they will respond to your post. From what I have read, they have all had very good experiences and the staff there work very hard to make everything as easy and comfortable for you as possible.

That's OK, worry about that small stuff, and keep your mind off the surgery! From what I've read on this board, you will meet others down there doing what you are doing. They seem to form instant bonds with each other and manage to even go shopping! You will do fine. Think of it as a great adventure, of which it is. Enjoy your time away and be optimistic for your future. Get as much rest as you can. And tell the nice nurse to take care of your glasses!

You will do just fine!
