Well its finally here and I'm sh&*%$$ my pants! I'm happy sad and terrified

all at the same time. I really havn't been able to eat for 4 days. Who would

have thought. Each time I try I'm in the bathroom 10 min. later. I know

its all nerves. I have this fear that I will have all kinds of problems after

the surgery and knowing that I did this to myself and I didn't have to.

I have been reading way too much I think. I'm making myself sick. Every time

I tell someone I'm doing this they ask me if I'm crazy that I'm not big enough

to do something so drastic. I know if I could do this on my own I would have

done it a long time ago. I'm 5'2" 211lbs. I have a very bad back and that

is the main reason for doing this. I know in the long run I will be happier and

healthier. I just need some reassurance. Has anyone out there had their

surgery with Dr. Edward Mun in Boston. Ok enough rambling thanks for

listening.

Mayflower,

You're just like most of all of us -- nervous, scared and full of anxiety. It's all part of the process. Good luck with your surgery and we will see you in Bandland!

Good Luck! Let us know how you are doing when you get to the other side.

I was banded last week and I know what you are feeling. Everything will be fine and soon you will be wondering what you were so nervous about!

Good luck and best wishes.....

I went through the same thing... lost 5# the week before surgery because of nerves! Good Luck tomorrow, I wish you great success!
