I don't regret having this done one second. But that's me. I tried everything and was so desperate to get this weight off, I would have been happy with 20 pounds less.

It is natural to have fear of the unknown.

Sweet it's natural to be afraid - but remember you are young you have that on your side. Just think about how much better you are going to feel when that weight starts coming off. You are doing your body a favor too by getting the weight off while you are young instead of like me... Think postitive !!!! Good Thoughts !!!

I haven't had surgery yet - 7/17 but right now i am not scared of the surgery part at all.. Now on 7/16 that might be a whole different situtation ::rolleyes..

Congrats on your surgery date. We all go through lots of emotions before the surgery, you wouldn't be normal if you didn't. Keep yourself busy, go for walks, read all the threads on here, talk to a friend. Make sure you buy your supplies for your liquid diet after the surgery. Good Luck!

thank you guys

I have not yet experienced Lap Band surgery, but hope to in the next few months. I am very excited, but want to know all aspects of the surgery itself and it's after effects. I realize each person experiences differences but please share with me what it has done for you.

<p>I am going through the same thoughts. I have just begun the process and am probably looking at September before I can have the surgery. I think it is normal. I just keep telling myself how great it will be when I start losing and how much better I will feel. Good luck!</p>

My surgery is set for Aug. 6, and I feel fine about it now, but like someone said Aug. 5 will be a whole different story. Ask me again closer to the 6th and I am sure I will have another answer. It is human nature to apprehensive about things such as surgery.

I am just begining this journey. I will be attending a seminar on June 26th. I am not sure if this is the surgeon that I'll be using. I am going to another seminar on July 26th. The first seminar, the surgeon is a M.D.

The second seminar the surgeon is a M.D., F.A.C.S. I am not sure how important this is but I am researching this. The M.D. surgeon has only being doing surgery since 2004. He is rather young but I'll wait and see.
