Chickenhearted

Okay, so I am really getting scared about the lap band, perhaps it is part of the process but I have been reading posts about swollen stomaches, and erosion ect. I am having second thoughts about the procedure and am getting a little freaked out. Can anyone help? Thanks:scared2:

It is normal to feel scared.You are about to change your life for the good.Just remember the band is a tool, my Dr said the first 4-6 weeks r about healing not loosing and do what the Dr says.I was banded on Jan 12 off 2 of my meds!!! lost 32 lbs. I had one set back,port was infected,I am better now.

God Bless:thumbup:

Everytime you step out your door you risk getting run over by a car and yet you still go out that door. I'd guess your chances of getting hit by a car are greater than band erosion or any of the other nightmares you can come up with.

Just do it.

I felt nervouse too, but I can say that I was very happy and surprised that it is going so well. Can anyone tell me how to start a new thread? I have been searching the website and can't figure it out. Thank you!

Would you guys believe that about an hour after I posted I got my approval letter from insurance. Well, surgery scheduled for March 22. Please wish me luck and prayers won't hurt either.

It is normal. I even canceled my first surgery date. After 6 months of pre-op nurtitional counseling! I finally had it done last week. You will be fine! Good Luck!
