Tomorrow is the big day. Come on people!

How about a show of support. It sort of feels like you have to be known or popular here to get responses. (Except for Donna, of course)

I am as nervous as I can be, and the waiting is killing me.

Stomach is just twitching and I have some fear of not waking up, getting an infection, etc.

I've been waiting for a long time to do this and now that it is here, I am questioning the decision. :think:confused:

I can't wait for it just to be over...

Good luck tomorrow! You will be just fine. You WILL wake up and then you will be on the losing side!

It is very normal to question your decision. I am 4 weeks post op and have absolutely no regrets.

You'll do great! I've been banded 8+ months, and it's the best decision I ever made. However, the day before surgery, I wasn't so sure...so take comfort in the fact that nearly everyone has doubts, that's completely normal!

Hang in there, and we'll see you tomorrow in BANDLAND! Welcome!

You'll be so grateful in a week. Everything I've read and seen it's a good decision. Think positive ALWAYS.

You will be just fine. I had my lap band surgery on Oct. 5th just one week and 4 days ago. I feel great and you will to. I was extremely nervous about the surgery. I just lost a family member in Sept. when he went in for surgery on his kidney, so I almost backed out. I would say, make sure you know everything you can about your surgeon. You will be fine and you will be glad you done it. I lost 10 pounds in the first 6 days after surgery. Not sure how much I've lost now. I don't even own a scale.

Best of luck to you on your journey!!!

Your fears are all our fears... congratulations and keep us posted after the op. :clap2:

Good luck to you. Will be thinking of you as time passes. Please let us hear from you when you can.

I am in my processing journey. I have my psych evaluation on Thursday.
