I did my pre-op today. Surgery is on for Friday. I am not nervous about the surgery. I just hope it works for me. I still think should I try 1 more time to try & lose on my own.

I hope I mentally adapt to the food changes.

I know my date is 4 days away but I am still don't know what to do

Help??

Hi Becka,

Sounds like you've got a case of last minute jitters. I am feeling a bit the same, but just keep remembering why I wanted this band in the first place - I wasn't able to lose on my own, I've not had success with weight loss in the 18 years I've been trying, so it's time now for me to do this.

The food changes and eating habits will be challenging for all of us, but there are plenty of inspirational stories and information on LBT from people who have gone before and succeeded. Seek them out, and use them for motivation. You will manage, and life will be better.

Join in our October surgery thread, I have added your date to our list already:
