I will hang in there and do the best I can... This is my LAST resort so here I am..... Thanks again for being ther for me

Hey! Am I the "not so great"? hehe You will be fine and do a great job Trish! I did a 10 day countdown thread and posted all kinds of crazy stuff, just journaled and wrote down thoughts and it was VERY helpful. So I definately encourage you to keep posting here, anytime a thought or idea hits, just post it here. Some days you will have 2-3 posts back to back (probably cuz noone will know just quite what to say!! jk) but that's okay, spill your guts and you will feel so much better!!! Yay Trish!!!!

Hey Kathy I think you are the "not so great and I'm the great"!!!! LOL!!!! I haven't pb'd once and I'm definatly not having problems throwing up. I did get that stuck feeling once but made it okay after a couple minutes! I'm sure you have had it rough!!!!

What are we going to do about Trish???? She's a nervous wreck!!!!

Paula thats right but I think my thread was more like 18 Days till I get my band!!!!! LOL!!!!! Not just 12 ..... talk about nervous!!!!! Anyway it has been one great ride so far!!!! Trish you will be banded and getting that first fill before you know it!!!! ..... Then you will be "A BIG LOSER" like the rest of us!!!! LOL!!!!!!

I so know what you're going through! One minute I'm so excited I can't wait and the next I'm scared senseless! I guess that must be the normal response to any surgery. I've only had one surgery in my whole life and that was gallbladder surgery 4 years ago and I breezed through that so hopefully this will be the same. I can so relate to all that you're feeling. Just take comfort in knowing that you're not alone! I know that's what's helping me through this. Good luck and God bless!

big loser... big something I want to be... I look at both You (jamie) and You (kathy) and i just dont know... Im so confused.. and so nervous... OMG im scared... and excited... is that possiable??? lol

Trish this excitment and this scared feeling is so normal!! You are feeling what every single banded person has felt like before surgery. This is a life changing decision and you have every right to have these feelings. Keep posting those nervous jitters away..... I'll be here to listen!!!!!

Thanks Jamie... your a sweetheart!!

BeckyInTX.... Thanks... I know im not the only one going through this... I have had one surgery where I was put under.... and I was scared.. but it was just my ankle... This seems so much more then that you know,.... its not just a torn tendon..but a life changing experience... and I think that is what hits me the most... Im so ready for this and will do all I can do to make it.

Thanks you all... I will post more when I can Take Care

This was my quote when I was in the same stage you are in, so I thought I'd bring it back for you...

Our doubts are traitors,

And make us lose the good we oft might win

By fearing to attempt.
