I have my consult tomorrow and Im already scared, Im afraid I could die, sounds drastic I know, but if I do not get this wieght off I know my life will always be a struggle, I enjoy reading all the positive posts from everyone, and I really want this to work for me, I pray god calms my nerves and I can enjoy a healthy future, thanks for listening.

Lap band surgery was not an elective surgery for me. I was literally killing myself with every mouthful of food. I was committing slow suicide. Lap band surgery was as necessary as gall bladder or appendix removal. Eventually, I would have died from obesity related diseases. Lap band surgery gave me the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Any surgery is obviously a risk, but I want to live a full life, and this was the way to do it. Seize this opportunity- you will be so glad you did. It's still hard work, but the results are worth it.

Oh plz help me...the thought that I may never eat another cheeseburger is killing me.......really freaked out today !!!
