Brand New - and really nervous!

Hi everyone.

I'm a 33 yr old who has been researching this for about 2yrs. I do have a surgery date of 7/30 - and I'm still terrified. I'm 5'0" and weighed in at 300LB at my Dr appt a week ago.

I know this is a good decission for me... but I am hoping that getting to know others who have already been there will make this a little easier.

:biggrin:

Thanks

You're being nervous is understandingly so. I researced and thought about lapband for 8 months and has turned out to be the best things I've done for myself.

this site is so helpful and makes you feel so good when you read the many positive post. Good seems to far outweigh the bad.

good luck

Hello and welcome to LBT! I also spent 2 years researching this surgery. I had a couple bumps in the road with pre qualifying for the surgery and such so that kind of kept my mind pre occupied on clearing those up instead of the surgery itself.

This is a huge commitment and definetly a lifestyle change. I would do it again in a heart beat. You have made the right choice. I think that you will feel better after reading more success stories on the forums and getting to know everyone :biggrin:
