I've been looking into lap band for a long time and finally decided to do it. It's all been a great idea theoretically, but now..it's going to happen!!! What am I doing?? I've had 2 laparoscopies for endometriosis, so the surgery part doesn't scare me. I was on Optifast for twelve weeks, so the liquid diet doesn't scare me. BUT, what if I can't fix the mental part fo me that can't figure out how to eat right? What if I can't fix the behaviors that got me here is the first place? Obviously, I couldn't fix them before or I wouldn't be logged on here now. I'm hoping it's normal to freak out like this a little. My pre-op visit is 3/19 and my surgery date is 4/3 with Dr.Greg Schroder in Richmond, VA.

Let me know if you have any hints on how to fix my thinking!

I am going thru the same thing. Today is my Pre-Op testing and my surgery is one week from today (March 24th). I am nervous and scared but also know that this is chance of living again and having lots of fun in life!!

I am self pay so for me - it has to work and I have to do everything I am suppose to!!

Good luck to you!! It will all be ok!!
