Okay, so I will be getting banded in exactly 9 days, May 2nd, and I'm scared out of my mind, but not of the surgery itself. I'm actually scared of being THIN!! I've been overweight since I was a small child, I don't know anyother body, any other way of life; I've only dreamed of being thin, but never actually thought it would ever happen for REAL. So as ironic as it may sound, I'm just scared of being THIN!! Has anyone else encountered such a feeling, or am I just plain weird?

I'm self pay as well. My company does not cover any weight related procedures and they will not re-write the policy just for me. So, I'm off to Tijuana. Dr. Ortiz will be performing my surgery on 5/2/08, for around $8000. I took out a medical loan, will have it paid off in four years, not bad for something I'll have for the rest of my life!!
