    Members Being Banded In March 06

    I'm getting banded tomorrow. I live in Athens Greece & I'm getting the band here.<o =""></o> I didn't have to do a liquids-only diet; my doctor gave me a fat free diet for 2 weeks (but I cheated - I only started it 9 days pre-op :eek: )<o =""></o> The past week has been difficult. My anxiety levels are very high. Part of it is the actual surgery (I've never had an type of surgery before) but the biggest part is fear for what comes next. I don't know if I can cope with the lifestyle change, post-op requirements, I don't know what to do to not sabotage myself in this last (and expensive) effort... and possible complications absolutely terrify me (maybe I should stop reading the complications forum). I’m supposed to go back to work next Monday & I hope it’s enough time!

    What did you tell your co-workers?

    I did not volunteer more information than necessary. Only my supervisor & 1 co-worker know why I'm taking time off and they don't know any details, just that I'm having surgery. They didn't ask any questions so I didn't say more than that (though I would have told them if they wanted to know ).
  3. I’m betting my band on March 7 & I’ve never had any type of surgery before. I know this is the right decision for me but at the same time I’m very scared of all the complications & also very nervous about adapting to life post-band. :help: Anyway... I am very happy to find this forum. I’ve been overweight most of my life and I must have done almost every diet there is. I’m from Athens, Greece, female, 32 years old, 145 pounds overweight & hoping for the best.
