looking for someone to talk to for support

I was also banded on May 1st. Believe me if anyone was scared it was me and I did second guess myself several times especially since I have anxiety and panic attacks. I had to way the pros and cons. Did I really want to be fat the rest of my life, I already tried every diet and wasn't successful so why would I be now without the surgery. If I have the surgery I know I will be in good hands and make it through just fine and they will give me something to calm my nerves. Yes I will be in pain after, but is it worth being healthy and fitting clothes I would live to wear. So I made my decision based on this was my last chance to lose weight. I'm still healing, but it's not horrific. If you choose the right dr then there should be no complications especially not death. Good luck on your decision and think positive

I'm 24 and getting banded on the 7th.

The edg is nothing at all I was scared too but it's really nothing to be scared off I promise. And lucky for me I Did have the hernia (which surprised me since I've never had heartburn in my life) but that makes this a more affordable choice.

I started looking into banding in 09 and got sated away from it a million times between horror stories and absolutely no support and lots of name calling because I wanted it.

Do you have a date yet? Remind me at the end of this week beginning of next and ill let you know how my surgery Tuesday goes.
