I don't know what's wrong with me.....

I have everything approved by my insurance company, I've started a workout regimen (Kickboxing and swimming) and also curved the eating habits ...alot! Now, that have all that in line, I can't seem to schedule a date for the procedure . I seem to be getting cold feet worse than my wedding day!!! I've only been under the knife once and it was not for something like this, but the more I think about it, I start to panic. I hope this site bring a comfort to me by other people success stories that felt like me.

I felt the same way but I did it! I wasn't afraid of going under the knife but I was more afraid of this not working but I did it. I can honestly say I'm not 100 percent sure if i'm happy yet its only been 11days I have lost 14 pounds already tho. I'm not happy of the hunger that I feel I can't wait for my fill then maybe things will get better... As far as the surgery it self it wasn't painful at all so if that's what u afraid of don't worry...

I've been banded a little over a month and can honestly say it was one of the best things I've ever

done for my health. I only wish I'd done twenty years ago. It's the safest WLS, fewest complications

and about the same weight loss after a year or two. My doctor directed me to a Center of Excellence

and I had a great experience, excellent surgeon and a terrific staff. You need to do a little research,

find a hospital with a good program and you're sure to have a good experience.

After surgery, weight loss isn't automatic, you still have to work at it, but the band makes it

much easier. Best of luck and I hope it all works out for you.

Try not to think of it as surgery. I kept telling myself its a 45 min procedure! You should go home a few hours later.

I only had to take a few days off work. Had the procedure on a Thursday, went home from hospital Friday and could have gone back to work Monday, but had the time available so I took a couple more days.
