tylee72198 10 Posted July 11, 2011 Take a deep breath, and just know that it is worth it in the end. The only thing I wish I would have done different is having it done sooner. It was the best decision that I could have made. I love my band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyDiva 5 Posted July 11, 2011 Just a suggestion....go to YouTube and search lapband before and after pictures. My surgery is Wednesday and I was freaking out to, but after watching those videos it got my excited again! Hope it helps you too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorcia1 2 Posted July 11, 2011 My surgery is Friday too, and I'm freaking out too. However, I'm a self-pay patient and have already paid for the whole thing, so that is keeping me from backing out! It also helps that everyone on this site seems to say they are so happy the got it. Wish I could be more helpful but just know you are not alone!

jen120 23 Posted July 12, 2011 I wasn't very nervous because I was very ready. But I have to say, the surgery and recovery have been so much easier than I thought they would be. Just take one step at a time. You will do great and you will be very happy for doing it. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
