My surgery is one month from today and I'm freaking out. I have a buddy I'm talking to about her experience with the VSG, and she has done wonderfully. I am just afraid that I will hate it. I have had my lap-band for almost two years and I'm 10-15lbs heavier than I was when I GOT my band. I threw up or "slimed" every day. I am so nervous and afraid I will feel trapped in this new decision, even though I'm so desperate to get this weight off. I am also scared that I'm not mentally strong enough!

Anyone with helpful words or advice either way would be so appreciated!

Thank you!

I totally understand, my husband do not want me to have the surgery, since I had the Lap-band and with all the complications and ending up in the ER 3 different times. He wish I just to cancel me date for Aug 9th, I keep saying NO! On the other hand I am excited and now counting down the days, but in the back of my mind I am starting to freak out toooooo. My mind is wondering all over the place.

I know exactly how you feel... Ive questioned myself throughout this journey but I think you need to remember two things... one, why you began your journey in the first place and two, I've heard people say "you may have complications due to surgery but you can also have complications due to keeping the weight on". Good luck to you! I cant wait to get my surgery date! God bless you and your decisions!
