I dont know why i am so nervous. I have the lap band in October 2011 and removed because of a slip in June 2013. I am so excited...my surgery day is October 2, 2013! huuuh im so nervous

I too am Oct 2nd...a little anxious...have you begun your liquid diet? I start mine on thurs. I know that this is a forever lifestyle change, but I am willing to make that promise to myself, use this tool I've been given, and get healthy. As for relaxing, I read. I read as much as I can. Wanna be surgery buddies? keep each other motivated, and have an outlet for problems etc? I think it would alleviate some of my anxiety to have a fellow wls person taking the same trip as me beginning on the same day.

Oct 2nd for me, too! I've been preparing since Jan. So excited, but now only a week away I've been too busy trying to get all my ducks in a row at work and at home.

I am so happy that there are others embarking this journey on the 2nd with me! I ran around throughout this entire month trying to get everything right so now I am just cruising. I am just really anxious, nervous, excited, and scared at the same time

I made a list of all the things I hated about obesity and what I had to look forward to in my future...like knee replacements and mobility issues. And I'd read it when I freaked out.

I read somewhere ( book, class materials or online) that seafood is one of the best choices when dining out post op.
