Hey fellow bmi bandster! I am almost close to you. My bmi was something like 32 or something. At 5-6, my surgery is 12/20 right after yours. I am going to mexico as well. I can't wait!! I can't sleep thinking about it all the time! How are you feeling?

Hey my surgery is right after yours on 12/20. I am soooo nervous but very excited. I love this site but reading some of the complications really makes it harder for me to stay calm. Any advise??

Has anyone been banded that did not do the pre-opt diet? My doctor didn't tell me anything about the pre-opt diet.

Hello all! I am scheduled to have surgery on December 20th at Huacuz Surgical Center in Tijuana Mexico. I've spoken to so many patients who all had great things to say about this group. I AM A NERVOUS WRECK!!!!!!! I am thinking about cancelling the whole thing because my anxiety level as sky rocketed. I am sooooo scared!!! Does anyone have any words of encouragment for me???

Hi all! I am so happy to meet other nutsos. I am bipolar as well as many of the people who replied. I actually believed that me making this decision to be banded was one of my many episodes. And maybe it was at first but I figured I'd listen to what my counselor told me about all my bright ideas during my highs and I actually waited it out for now 6 months. I've been reading and researching and now I am almost a week away from my surgery. I've made myself sick and nauseous thinking about what I'm putting myself through, in fact I am so nervous about this that my manic highs are continous where I can't sleep at all. I understand many of you out there and I'm glad you have had the courage to speak about it. Is there any advice anyone can give me to better eaze the process? If you've already been banded, did it help? God Bless!
