OH WOW!!! Hehehe I am sorry but I just had to laugh kuz I would so totally do that too. In all honesty I am so scared that I won't make it out of the surgery room, but in reality I am at more danger not getting it done. I hope there is a nurse Bridget when I go in for mine, so she can be there for me as yours was. :thumbup: I am so looking forward to reading everything from you as you start this wonderful journey.

So proud of you chocolate, we all have those insecurities when we got ready for banding. I did too. Not enough to back out, but enough to scare you sh....less. But in 2 to 3 months you'll be so happy, even more so than now, because you'll be about 30 lbs less. Way to go chocolate!
