Hey Ya'll it's been awhile since I was one here I got alittle discurged with the whole pre-surgical stuff you have to do but I'm finally done. My surgery is scheduled for 07/23 and I'm starting to get alittle nervous. The biggest things are if you be succcseful at it. I have my whole family behind me and I don't want to let them down. I know I can do this but I'm just scared. I have been heavy all my life and I'm (this might sound funny) scared to see how I will look thin and how people treat me LOL. I'm really excited about being more healthy but that is the one main thing that scares me. Has anyone else felt like this? If so how did you handle it?

God Bless

I'm glad you have your family support thats all you really need, I wish I had my family support, The only support I have right now is from the July Bandsters for this month, and that basically keeps me going, saying to myself I know I can do, and I have faith in you I know you can do itespecially with support of your family GOOD LUCK!!! on your new look!:clap2:

Congratz to all of you!!!! I was banded 2 weeks ago and doing very well. You all will do just fine. Just follow what you doctor says. I love my band and wouldn't have it anyother way.

I'm so glad this blog exists! My surgery is scheduled for July 24th, but I still don't have insurance approval. So, I'm in limbo for now. I'm really excited but also a little nervous. Good luck to everyone.

We are in the same boat Katie, my surgery is scheduled for the 3oth but I still don't have insurance approval yet. I am so tempted to put it on my charge card. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us that we will get good news soon.

. . . . . . . . hang in there :-)

Lots of luck on your new journey! Congrats on making the decision to take back your health! It's a bit scary, but you can do it!

Hey you'll today is my day thanks for all your comments I will update when I'm home.TTYL BILL

Good Luck Bill, we'll see you in bandland!

Hi there! I'm nervous, too. My Lapband Surgery is tomorrow 7/24 - day after yours. Nervous is normal. Let me know how you're doing. I know I'm in good hands with my surgeon and the hospital I'm going to in Grand Rapids, MI. Looking forward to hearing how you're doing. Take care!
