I haven't been on here for some time now, but thought because I got my surgery date yesterday that I should get back on here and talk to you all incase I need some support and advice. You all are a great support group and I need to be in touch.

I'm getting banded on April 21st.:tt2: Now that I have a date, I think I'm a little nervous.:frown: Is that normal? I've wanted this for so long and have jumped through the hoops that have been required to get it ....now I'm having thoughts of ....am I doing the right thing? I woke up this morning at 4 am and couldn't shut my head off to go back to sleep, just thinking about all this. Don't get me wrong...I'm doing it! Just want to know if what I'm feeeling is a bit normal.

GOSH! I can't believe it's going to happen this month! Looking forward to being among all you bandsters.:thumbup:

i felt the same way and then i look at my loved ones and how they would miss me if i died because of my bad health and so i go one my date is april 10 and i am ready for this journey to start so stick with it and keep your head right

Oh I'm going to go through with it and I look forward to being healthier and maybe getting off the stupid CPAP machine. I hate that thing, but I have to sleep with it because of my sever sleep apnea. I know my husband love me to sleep next to me with that God awful mask on every night.

I'm feeling a bit better this morning after just writing earlier and will start to go out and purchase what I need for after the surgery.

I think I was just a little nervous as I went to see the surgeon yesterday and wasn't thinking that I'd get a surgery date, just put on the surgery waiting list......no waiting, just got it! Wasn't expecting that at all!

Congrats! on your April 10th surgery date.
