Stick to the positive topics. There's plenty of them. My surgery and recovery was a breeze! Not even close to many of the pain ridden stories you'll read on here! Keep positive and you'll do great!

Best decision I ever made! My only regret is that I didn't have the surgery sooner. Good luck!!!

Being informed about the possible difficulties will help you to prepare to deal with them. I have learned so much from this forum and it has all been helpful in it's own way. Good luck .

I know how you feel. I was feeling the same way. But even though I felt like backing out after reading the stories about the pain (I'm a big baby), I would look at the weight loss tickers and think - if i can loose that much - the pain would be worth it. I finally have my surgery date and I think I'm very happy about it.

As long as you have this site, you're not alone. Do you have a date yet, or are you just beginning the process?

My two biggest suggestions would be - Follow the guidelines set by your doctor regarding eating, drinking, exercising, etc. and remember that you have to work hard to get the

most out of your band. Good luck!

SO glad I am not the only one who is excited and scared. I think after years of being on the diet roller coaster and all the failures with little success only adds to my fears. It's like "what if..." and I get nervous. I am so afraid of blowing it! But then I try to talk myself back down- I focus on how great it will feel when I am down to a healthy weight. I think about how it's going to feel to get back into a life again. And the fears subside. I am just starting on this road too. I have my first consultation this Tuesday. Even though it seems like an uphill battle at this point I am ready. I "can't weight" to feel good again Good luck to all who are strting this adventure too!

I do not have a date yet but I am at the end of my 6 months and I have had 3 out of 6 test preformed So I should be getting a date very soon
