Hello Everyone, My name is Cherie. I live in Arkansas where I haven't met a lot of lap banders. The support group that I met had like 10 people in it.

I'am scheduled for lap band surgery on Dec.14, 2006 and Iam starting to get cold feet..I figure I'll be a nervous wreck before Thursday gets here! Iam also starting to get very weak from my pre-op diet.. Iam really worried about the gas pains after surgery and depression from not being able to eat... I cant sleep, all I can think about is, Am I doing the right thing?

Has anyone else had these thoughts??? Happy to be aboard and ready to be healthy and hopefully someday be a "Hot Mama with personality!!!":help:

Hey girl! You can come talk with all of us...

Here is December Banster Thread

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/december-bandsters-t25506.html

We have a ton of people there who were banded as recently as yesterday, and they are all coming back to tell their stories.

Everyone had had a very positive experience so far. Everyone is doing fine.

I do understand the cold feet, and that is why I visit with the people there everyday to talk myself through it. Come on over and join us :-)
