I am so nervous and excited! I am excited because I have struggled with my weight my whole life and have done just about every diet out there. I am nervous because of failure. Any tips/advice/suggestions? Thank you all!

Just be patient and have faith that no matter what you will be successful.

I am right there with you, life long weight problems and every diet possible. Getting banded on the 30th. Try not to think about the failure aspect ... your band is a tool to help you with your choices. This site has been a powerful motivator for me. I drop in about once a week, and it seems now that I have my surgery date, almost every night. Good luck with your weight loss! I'm sure we have made a great decision!

not that bad the hardest thing i found was the ten day liquored diet,

Thank you everybody! I am new to this site and am already obsessed with it! I have already found so much useful information and inspiration! I cant wait to start my new life!

Brandi congratulations on your decision to get healthy and thinner..Keep following everyone on lapbandtalk and you will do fine.. most of the long time posters have a world of experience and success.. I have been on here since I made my decision.. The first few weeks after surgery will be difficult but you will be thrilled with the results...this is the first time I have been able to keep my weight off. Even through vacation and family birthdays and events.. the most important advice from everyone was to follow my Dr's instructions...Best of Luck ...

That is my worst thought too....failure! I just don't want to waste all this money and fail again. I'm trying to think positive!
