Just found this board last night. My surgery date is Tuesday and I am excited. Scared also that I will fail at this like I have other attempts at weight loss. I have told VERY few people and had to be shamed into telling my children. I am so embarrassed that I am so weak that I have to have surgery to lose weight...

Welcome to LBT! You will get more responses if you go the the introductions thread and post.

Don't feel bad, we have all been there, that's why we have the band.

Good Luck!

Welcome . . .good luck . . . and there is nothing to be embarrassed about! That is why we are ALL here . . . and the difference I feel from a year ago . . . to even 6 months ago when I had this done are unbelievable! I'm off my high blood pressure meds . . . yea! . . . don't walk with a cane anymore . . . yea! . . . and just feel sooooooooooo much better! Best of luck to you. It's hard work - but if you want it . . . the results are AMAZING!

Best thing that ever happened to me, weak NEVER it takes a strong bold person to make the decision and take control of there lives and opportunities. Good luck

I share your feelings. My surgery is this Tuesday and I'm becoming increasingly nervous. I'm not afraid of the surgery but of struggling with the adjustment afterwards (vomiting - food getting stuck). I'm sure the solution is to make good choices and be vigilant. I hope you have adjusted well since your surgery. GOOD LUCK:smile:
