Gawd. I have been researching this for.ev.er. and finally decided to pull the trigger. Now that my initial consult is here I feel like I am going to throw up with nervousness. I have never had surgery, never even had anesthesia...all my kids were born without pain meds....scares me to death. Not to mention the incredible feeling of self-recrimination for not losing the weight all on my own.

Wish me luck..I hope to be banded right before Thanksgiving (self pay)!

welcome to LBT I hope all goes well I am getting banded on this wednesday after looking into it for about a year I am going to do it , I am very nervous to the point that it makes my stomach hurt I try not to think about it , last night I couldnt hardly sleep so I am getting jitters. I hear it is natural , my husband will be with me and I just pray all goes well.

U take care and good luck on whatever ur decision is ,
