I receeived my banding date from my Dr's office- April 7. I was feeling pretty excited but as the days draw are passing and I realize it's less than a month away I experiencing some major nerves. Reading over the Dr's paperwork has only made it worse. Did anybody else feel this way? Any suggestions? I have talked to friends and they have just said if I am that scared dont do it. Thats not an option for health reasons. Please help!!
