Tomorrow is the day! I'm excited, but scared crapless at the same time. FOr those who have gone thru the surgery already, did y'all go thru all the "what if"s? What if something happens on the operating table, what if I don't like the band, what if I don't (god forbid) make it thru surgery....

I keep going from exciement to wanting to call it all off. I know I will be OK, right? I have had my gall bladder removed, so I have gone under anesthesia and they messed with my insides while doing that. I have 3 small kiddos and I had TONS of "what if"s about them... Scarey thoughts of things that could go wrong, kwim....

Please tell me I'm not the only one going thru this panic mode. Tell me this is all normal feelings!

Hey bling,

No need to panic, I am having surgery in about 3 weeks. I am scared too but more afraid of living my life as it is. I know that I will have to change inorder for this to work but I just think about how I could best live my life, I focus on the loves of my life and then I leave the worry with GOD because there is nothing I can do except try to move forward. I wish you the best, I can't tell you NOT to worry but I will tell you there is a place for that worry...

I believe its normal to ask yourself questions about whether youre taking the right path. I did... and I answered myself quickly... heck yes... lets do it! No regrets here!

There is risk in everything we do in life. We can get run over by a bus tomorrow. One thing is sure though... doing nothing isnt an option for most if not all of us here.

Well said.

If you weren't scared crapless, I would think something was wrong with you! Lol

I was scared, excited, nervous..all the above because it was something new. It has been 18 days since my surgery and have never looked back. Trust me, this is a good thing for you! You will do fine! Good luck!

I was banded yesterday and had been feeling a little nervous, wondering if I made the right decision. Today, I am soooo glad I did this. The surgery was a breeze. Very little pain. It went much better than I thought. I worried about it for a couple of weeks.

I could dance a jig. That's how good I feel. Instead I think I will go take a nap; probably a better thing to do. Good luck! Let us know how it goes for you.
