Hi everyone. I am new here. I really am not 4 sure what to do so please bare with me. I go tomorrow to talk to the dr. about getting the lap band. I have already been to his semminar. I am scared I will screw up and sabbatoge myself before the surgury. I am assuming this is a normale feeling? Congrats on ya'll for having it done and good luck to those getting ready to have it done. and how do you get the cute ticker tapes?:thumbup:

The fear of failing "yet again" is definitely natural. We have all been through that so many times by the time we decide we are ready for surgery that it's hard for us to believe there actually is a chance. This forum is a great place for support and inspiration to keep failure from happening. Educating yourself about how to use this new tool you will have to assist in your weightloss is one of the most important things you can do before committing to the change, so you will know exactly what you will have to do in order to finally succeed.

Good luck and let us know how it goes with the surgeon!
