Well I have a surgery date now for feb 8th! I am as nervous as a hor in church! I just keep think what if I die and what would happen to my son what would my husband do the list goes on and on!

Well congratulations, you are normal. Nervous and anxious is what happens about now. I always used to do the same thing if I traveled without my kids. You will be fine, and healthier for longer of their lives! Take a deep breath and be happy!

I am ready for this journey! Thank you

During the seminar I went to, the doctor said more people died from NOT having the surgery (due to obesity issues) than the control groups that "needed" it and didn't get it done.

I'm getting banded on feb 15th and I have been super nervous for the past week. I guess I thought getting approved would be too good to be true, and nothing good ever happens to me. I honestly was not expecting to be approved because I've been trying to lose weight for 10 years and have never lost a pound. I keep thinking maybe I should stay the way I am now, unhealthy and overweight because I love food so much. Even though a day doesn't go by with me thinking about losing weight and becoming healthy, it would be so much easier to stay fat forever. I don't want to do this, I have to do this. I know I have to change and as scary as it may be, I know the lap band and committing to this new life style will only reap benefits. You got this girl!!

This post was so poignant for me! I could not have said it any other way as I feel EXACTLY the same.

I have just decided I am NOT going to give up my Quest to get banded! Thank u so much...
