Hi everyone,

I've been in here reading all I can about the surgery. I'm scheduled for the day after tomorrow and up until yesterday I was so anxious to have it done. Now I'm starting to be very nervous. is this normal? Did anyone else get frightened right before? I know I'm doing the right thing, but cant seem to shake the worry now. Any help would be sooooooo much appreciated:unsure:

If I had not received the happy meds before surgery last Wed, I would have jumped off the gurney and not looked back. It is very normal. Thing is even after surgery you may find yourself having some doubt issues. I am hoping as soon as my eating gets somewhat back to normalcy these emotions will diminish. Good luck you will be fine.

It will be over before you know it. Hang in there. My life was on the line...that's how I looked at it and my 8yo son was my motivation. I don't think I was on track to see him graduate high school.

Comparitively speaking, for me, having the flu was worse then having the procedure plus teh recovery, IMO. Last time I got the flu, I thought I was going to die . . . for 3 days. I never thought I was going to die post op.

I think almost everyone gets a bad case of nerves right before surgery. I don't regret getting the band. It's so much fun to watch the scale go down for a change!
