Just wanted to say Hello! I am a newbie. I have not been banded this is all very new to me. I am in the beginning stages of the pre surgery process! I am nervous, happy and scared all at once. i go for my Psych Eval Tuesday then meet with my Dr at the end of this week and surgery probably the very first Tuesday in October!! Have to say I am very overwhelmed with all the info they give you. I attended a 5 hr Education class last Monday and whew...I only thought I knew some stuff!! I am excited about all the info I received though! I left that class with my brain hurting and then I cried for 2 days!! :rolleyes2: But I am better now and it's had time to sink in a little. Now if I can just handle the PRE Surgery Diet!!! :girl_hug:
