Well, I'm a newbie here and my band is scheduled to be done on 1/20/10.. I just got done watching the emmi presentation on lap banding, and now I'm nervous! I've never had any surgery done before, and I'm literally scared! I'm scared of the anesthesia, but I guess I never realized that they have to insert a catheter!:tt1: I'm really kinda freaked out about that... I'm a guy, so maybe that's a guy thing???? Oh well, words of encouragement my way would be greatly appreciated!!!!!:thumbup:
