my surgery scheduled for tomorrow 2-24 well technicaly i guess its tomorrow already, but i cant seem to shut my brain down so i can sleep for a few hours. all the random thoughts are going through my head. ive had a life long fear of anesthesia. ive had 3 kids and wouldnt even have epidurals during labor.i keep asking myself is this the right choice, the right time? at one point i thought about going to the fridge eating whatever i want and calling the whole thing off. thank god i didnt do it. i just have to keep reminding myself of all the reasons that this is the right decision for me.

i just wanna say thank you to all of you who have posted your stories and for your encouraging kind words. reading them tonight has reinforced in my mind what a positive tool this is going to be in my life. i just guess were all afraid of change sometimes, even if we know its for the better :w00t:

Jennifer, I had the same fears you did prior to my surgery. I had reached the ripe age of 40 and had never had surgery before being banded. I just KNEW something was going to go wrong. Well, everything went wonderfully, and I was home by 4:30 the same day. You should be fine. Try to calm down and focus on all of the reasons you are doing this. If that doesn't help, tell the anesthesiologist to pop you with a feel good cocktail to calm you down after you get there. You won't remember a thing!:w00t: Good luck and post when you feel up to it.
