Hello All: I went to get my lap band yesterday. I was calm when I arrived. My blood pressure was good. I spoke with my surgeon and was ready to go. Then the anethesia doctor came and gave me something for nauseau and reflux in my IV. All of a sudden, I started having a terrible panic attack. I took the IV off and refused surgery. Also, the anesthesia doctor kept telling me about all of the reasons " you might not wake up" from anethesia. I was flipping by this point!!:sneaky: I was SOOO prepared and excited for this surgery. I thought I clearly understood all of the pros and cons. Has anyone had a negative experience with the lapband??? All I hear are positive stories....I am scared since I use food as comfort so often! Any feedback would be great!!:smile2: Thank you!

By the way, you are such am amazing group and so so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for all of the feedback! I have an appointment to speak with my surgeon face to face next week. He did think I may have had a poor reaction to some of the meds. I do think I was really nervous too!!! I will be honest!!! Did you have alot of pain after the surgery? Did you ever feel like you were chlosterphobic with the band in place??? I truly am so excited and ready! I just think I needed more time to relax and prep for surgery too! Best, Sharon
