CATHETER Darn, I forgot about that!!!

Blonebarse, Snowflake.....Good luck, I'm with you....My surgery is 08/18, in Houston w/Dr Spivak. Totally nervous and excited.

My turn to get banded. I am so excited and nervous and the same time. I am ready for a life changing experience but terrified of failing. I have been thinking about getting banned for over a year. I been reading here for a month or so and can't tell you how much it has helped me make the final decision of getting it done. Thanks to those before and after pictures, they are awesome. My band date is 08-18-06 with Dr. Spivak in Houston. I hear nothing but great things about him. Wish me good luck and good health!! :nervous

Thanks guys. You're right. I am so nervous. I have managed to give myself hives and had a few days of my period two weeks early!!! I feel like every meal is my last one! Not over eating, but You know...."I won't have this for a long while." I am 38 years young with three children (7, 10, 18) and a loving husband. I am 288lbs and want to get to 130lbs. I will be happy with 180lbs. I know it is far away, but my life is worth it. I know you all probably felt the same way. This will be my chance to be around longer for my children and to keep my honey in line, hee hee hee.
