I'm sure all of us are scared, to varying degrees. I am looking forward to life after banding, but it's the surgery that I'm dwelling on at the moment. Even laproscopic surgeries can develop complications. I'm trying to put those feelings in the back of my mind and just look forward to the future.

Congrats on your date and try not to worry. Welcome to the site. Donna

I started this journey on Sept.17. I started trying to lose at that point. Now ,I finally have my date .

I was starting to get a little scared, but then I looked at myself in the mirror and saw me 18 pounds lighter than I was two months ago. I have been getting ready for this and I AM GOING to finally be able to keep that weight off. If I can be this happy after only 18 pounds gone , I can only imagine how happy it will make me feel to lose a lot more.

:whoo:. I am sooo glad to be able to join in your happiness. :clap2:

When I got my date 6 weeks ago, my first thought was great, fantastic, lets go. But as I started to think about it, I also started to feel scared and ask myself what was I doing.

Don't worry, all the thoughts you are having are normal. This is a big step to take for anyone and especially when it will have so many life changing effects. Just remember the reasons you are doing this.

If it helps start a journal, or even better, a blog. It helps to write down your thoughts to keep your head straight and to remember your reasons for doing this. I have a blog and the encouragement I now get from friends who read it is wonderful.

My blog address is below if you want to have a read and you'll see that you aren't alone.
