I'm so afraid to do this and I have surgery scheduled for March 22.

I'm afraid because it's a new surgery and there aren't many long term facts about how people fare.

I'm a little afraid too because I had a panic attack after having my lapband removed. I'd never had one before and I actually had two after that. I don't have them now.

I'm a broken person though and I need fixing. Pretty much out of other options.

That's where I am and if it were my heart, I'd have surgery right?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for clearing that up, but i guarantee someone will say its a new procedure in 3....2....1.....

Until you guys said something I just thought it was a random pic he took off the Internet.

Wait.. Are the "off topic" police around?

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to his thread "OTR is coming to your town"

I had a complete "melt down" when I went into the OR - if I had not already been on meds it would have been a full on panic attack.

I went through the doubts and second guesses - some after I had surgery - but I am so pleased with my results. This was the best decision for me and it has been an easy recovery and adjustment.

You are in good hands with Dr Ortiz. I had surgery 9/10 so I am about 6 months out now. I know you asked about people who had regretted the surgery but I decided to reply anyway. Hope it helps and if you have any specific questions about OCC please feel free to ask or post in the self pay Mexico forum -
