Well I have 17 days till my surgery date I am excited and nervous. If I really sit here and think about it I feel like im going to have a panic attack so truthfully I have been TRYING not to think about it. My boss at work just finished filling out my FMLA paper work which it does make it seem even more real and scarry. I have been wanting this for just about 10 years and I cant believe Im getting nervous....

I had the gastric sleeeve. I recall counting the days down too. I was a nervous wreck. Talking to other people who had the surgery was not an option to me at the time. I did talk to Dr. Feitz A LOT about my concerns. That helped a great deal. If you have any concerns don't be afraid to call your doctor.

Remember to walk after the surgery. This well help you a great deal. Whether you are having the lap band or gastric sleeve this helps get all the air out. Don't skip drinking your protein drinks as well. As this will give you the nourishment you need to keep your body going.

Let us know how you are doing and I wish you the best of luck!
