My name is tasha I am having my surgery may 15 but I am extremely nervous, going under always scares me. I hope it is worth it in the end.

Hey in the same boat having mine on the 27th

Tasha, nervousness is normal. I'm so happy with my band so far. I'm seven weeks post-op and I feel 100% better already. Good luck!

Thank you that is reassuring to me. I am just trying to take it day by day but this pre op diet is kind rough.

I hope it goes great for you. I have wanted this for a long time :)

Thanks how has it been preparing any advice ??

I hope your surgery goes as quick and easy as mine did. No horror stories here ! I was at the hospital @5:30 am, surgery @7am, home nearby @11:30 am ! Couch surfed for 2 days with hourly walking, and then felt fine , just sore on the left side. Back to work on the 8 th day, felt great, and started loosing weight right away. Followed my Drs orders and dropped 50 lbs in the 1st 7 months. I hope everything goes smoothly for you ! Good luck !!

I am in utah. I have been feeling the same way kinda like a roller coaster. Happy and excited then the next minute scared.... I know its worth it I just hate surgery.

Well at least it's for a life change. All we can do is have faith

True! I will keep you updated on my process and keep me updated on yours. :)

Will do

Don't worry!

I had mine done last Saturday. Checked in at 8:30, surgery at 10, awake at 11, discharged at 1:30.

No pain at all. Back at work for a few hours three days later

You can do it!
