I am so nervous and apprehensive. I am self pay so having this surgery is a huge financial burdon on my family. However, they insist that they are willing to sacrafice for me. That is a gigantic responsibility. I am also nervous about procedure itself and afraid of failure. I'm sure these are just presurgery jitters but someone please tell me it's worth it before I back out!!!!!!!!!!! :shades_smile:

CM...I have yet to be banded but just want to wish you luck and will be thinking of you tomorrow. Calm down and try to relax. The procedure will go just fine. I have had many surgeries and I always try to take myself to another place the day and evening b/4 by reading a good book, watching a movie, taking a long bath with a book. Take care.

First of all, GOOD LUCK! :shades_smile:

Second, it was worth it for me - which is all I can tell you.

OMG! What I wouldn't give for an appointment tomorrow!!! I say go for it and never look back! I have not been banded yet, but am hoping for an end of April surgery date! I know you scared, but from what I read it is well worth it... It's a new beginning!

Congrats and Good Luck Tomorrow!

Best,

Shannon

Hey Shannon...are you waiting for ins. approval? Or, a surgery date?

Thanks for the good wishes. I know that I have to do this. It's just a little stressful with it happening so fast and now it's here. EEEKKK. I'll get through it though and in seven short years it will be all paid for :shades_smile: But I'll be much healthier and happier.......
