ScaredI

I've been in the approval process for almost 2 years and I finally got my surgery date today. All day I've been running the cons through my head and I am scared... I know there's a risk in everything and I think I am at more of a risk by not doing it and staying obese or losing and gaining again as I have all of my life.....Ughhhh is this just cold feet????

Yes, this is a classical case of cold feet. I think I can speak for just about everyone " Cold Feet " is common before surgery. You've work very hard to get there, then all of a sudden its upon you. The fear of the unknown is always a scary venture. I was banded on Dec 23, 2010 and I'm thrilled with my results so far. I was ready to walk out the day of surgery because of my fear. Thank God I didn't. I will be getting my first fill on February 1st and can't wait to move farther into this awesome journey with absolutely no regrets except for one. Not doing this about 5 years ago when I went to my first seminar. You will do great if you've done your homework. Research and know what is to come and the skies the limit. Wishing you well.

Thank you! It's crazy because I have been very positive about this the whole time, I've thought about it for years and its taken me a few to get approved...and now I am like googling complications and reading the negative stuff (which I already knew.....) but it's making me freak out and i am doing it to myself! LOL

I can totally relate! I was so excited and impatient about the waiting process and then when I was finally approved I started getting really anxious! I started wondering if I was doing the right thing; if I should just try to "diet" again; if I could really do it. I was banded Dec. 29, 2010 and I am very happy with my progress so far. I do not regret it for one minute and know that I made the right decision. I know for a fact if I had not done this I would have not lost 27 pounds so far.

So keep informed but don't drive yourself crazy, we all had doubts. Good luck!
