Omg, I spoke w the pharmacist at the hospital today to discuss my medications. That was the final step before surgery. Now my nerves are kicking in. Starting to get a bit scared. Any advice?

I am so happy for all the the responses. I thought I was the only one who had the concerns I did. It's comforting to know I'm not. I met with my nutricionist last Friday and I only have to do my pre op diet for 4 days prior. So, I am happy about that. My ninja 1100 has arrived and I've been blending as much as possible. Sugar free snow cones were great in our ultra hot weekend. So hard to believe, 12 days until the surgery. I want to wish everyone the best of luck and I think we cld all be a great support to each other. I am on Facebook you can find me at bellaitaliana30@gmail.com I look forward to reading about everyone's experiences and success. Also, for more support check out YouTube. Lots of inspiring vlogs. I'm under, keepsgettinbetter. Talk to everyone soon. God Bless. Jane.

Okay, so I am officially scheduled for banding on August 1st. I am really excited. The only thing is my mom and a few other family members are trying desperately to talk me out of it. I am nervous about surgery in general and the people closest to me are trying to make me second guess my choice as a 32 year old adult. My mom flew off the handle and was offended that the Surgeon (Who I used to work for and I trust) advised me I was obese. (THIS I ALREADY KNEW) My mom was like, "how dare him call you that"? Well I am 5'3 and 210lbs. She keeps saying he's letting me have the surgery so he can get the money from insurance. I assured her this is NOT the case. Has anyone else come across people being negative about their decision? How did you handle it?

I am sooo excited! I had my final meeting with my surgeon and tomorrow I will be getting my surgery date! This is FINALLY starting to come together. When I first started this journey with the seminar, I never thought this all would be so close to happening! I am a lil anxious, I wont lie. But I know this is all going to be great!!! Who else out here is a July Bander????

You look absolutely amazing!!!! You really are a great motivational person on this forum. I met with my surgeon today and since I did all my evals first, we are submitting to insurance immediately!
