I had the band in 2013, and after many issues of constant vomiting the band was finally taken out February 2015. The date is finally coming, and I noticed that this time I'm scared.

After I had the band and had to stay on the liquid clear diet, after two days I wanted to eat. I was always hungry. I'm scared that I will fail again.

The only pre-surgery diet is one day prior to surgery, clear liquid diet. The one habit that I'm afraid to get up up is having a cup of coffee in the morning with creamer.

Sounds crazy right?

Nope.

You sound pretty darn normal. Afraid of failing, change, etc.

You are amongst family, we get it.

I understand your concerns entirely. I had the band in around 2005 and was always vomiting and never losing weight. I finally just gave up and had band removed. Years later and just had sleeve on Monday. Feel like a million bucks-truly. Up until I was brought into the OR I convinced myself that I would fail at the sleeve…that everyone else could do it but I somehow could not. Four days post op and I was wrong! I am totally doing this!! You will be in the same boat. You just have to trust yourself!
