Hi i was scheduled to have my band on 10/19/10 the night before i developed i severe toothache and they cancelled the procedure.I did real well on the pre op diet and was all ready to go,but I'm starting to have second thoughts about it.My date now is this friday 10/29/10 ,just wondering if anybody else had second thoughts,i was reading alot on the lap band failure rate and now i'm very nervous. thks Todd:confused:

OMG, I just sent her a message because I noticed that her procedure was done by the same doctor.I feel terrible............I did not know, I just joined a couple of weeks ago first time i clicked her profile was today.I'm so sorry:sad:

October 18th for me also,I'm beginning to get very nervous because it seem's like September is really going fast,I can't belive the months like half over already.

Hi I'm new to the bandster site,i have a surgery date of 10/19/10. Would anybody that has had the procedure done already please answer a question for me.Will the surgery help me control my appetite?(i have a big one lol) I'm really looking foward to getting thinner and healthier and i was hoping that it would. I hope this is not a silly question,thks Todd:biggrin:

Hi,I'm new here and have some questions about lapband surgery. I have only 1 more appointment with cardio doc,my surgery date is 10/19/10. I really need to lose weight,not the biggest guy on the block(260 5'8" bmi 40)but i do have some other issues ie:sleep apnea, high cholesterol,family history of heart problems,GERD etc.I have a 3 great kids and i want to live a long healthy life so i can see them grow up! Sometimes i feel like the surgery is the easy way out and i should be able to lose the weight naturally.has anybody ever felt the same way? I get up for work at 0300am and get home around 5 or 6.I just feel too tired to come home,change then run out to a gym and jump on a treadmill.Some people i know tell me to just "stop eating and you will lose weight" I guess my question is it normal to feel guilty about choosing this path to reach my desired weight?

Thanks Honk,I have lost weight a few times,starvation,Jenny craig.I really feel commited to changing my eating habits and making this work.I do walk all day long for my job and it is physical,just seems that there is a stigma with using surgery as a tool.I guess i should ignore the comments from others and keep focused on my goal,thks again todd:thumbup:
