Please, don't worry about it, the surgery is the easy part and you will be treated like a KING! I had my LapBand surgery done on the 27th of March 2008 and as of today, (5 months later) I have lost 100lbs!!!!!!. I feel great. I weigh 343 lbs and now I am down to 243. My goal is 200 lbs. When I was heavy, I did not want to look into a mirror but now I am always admiring myself in the mirror. There is one BIG PROBLEM now, I have to go out and buy new cloths, what I have does not fit me anymore, but I guess that a good problem. I want you to know one thing now, the LapBand is a tool that will help you lose the weight. Follow your doctor instructions after surgery and attend any support groups meetings. It took me about a month to adjust to the new life style but I am so happy now with my body. I had High blood preasure and diabetes but now I stop taking my BP meds and adjusted my diabetes meds to a very low dose. I hope that in the future I will be off my diabetes meds all together. Believe me, You will know that you made the right deceision. Good Luck. Robert
