I have been stalking the boards but just registered. I leave in 15 minutes for my seminar - worried that I will get chickened out durning the session.

I am ready to do this but am scared. A good friend died just after gastic bypass (due to allergic reaction to a medicine) about 5 years ago. I have been thinking of her alot these last couple of weeks. Really in need of some reassurance!!

I can't speak for Gastric, but it is cool. you will be ok. I got the Big Boy Lap Band this morning and im up and about. Chatting it up. I don't think they will want to scare you at a seminar. It should be cool. I was fortunate enough not to have to do a seminar. NICE !!

You will be fine . Lapband surgery was a breeze for me. Everything will be okay.
