Hi there
I had my banding last Friday and felt the same emotions, scared of surgery, scared of failing (once again). I have had previous surgeries and this was the easiest. I was up and about with relative ease on Monday. I have been sticking to the small liquid amounts post op and the weight is coming off. I am daring to be hopeful. I also dont know what it will be like to be in a life without being fat and/or obsessing about food. It will all be a learning curve as I find replacements for the food thinking. Before getting the band I thought I wanted my life back, I now know I dont want my life back , I want a new one. To new beginnings!!
