Today is Monday and I'm scheduled to have the lap band on Thurs. June 29 in Tijuana Mexico. I'm am literally sick to my stomach. My family is unaware of my itentions for that day,because of the lack of support. I am currently at a bmi of 41 and I'm only 32 years old. The sad thing is that I have been this size for about six years now. I like to consider myself to be pretty active. Most people say I'm very energetic and seem quite confident. However, the reality is ........ I have horrible blood pressure problems and am no longer the confident fun outgoing person that I used to be. I hope that once I have this lap band I will once again have the enthusiasm for life that I once had. My two fears.....dying and the band not working correctly. Any words of advice?
