Maddysgram 6,159 Posted June 3, 2013 Anxiety, second guessing your decision and all the other emotions, very normal. Try to keep your eyes on the prize, the new healthier you. Remember Drs and nurses are trained to keep you well. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChicagoRose 650 Posted June 4, 2013 I completely agree that it's normal. I have an anxiety disorder and was going crazy. You'll be okay though!!! I also have an anxiety disorder which got worse and worse closer to surgery. Even though you want something 100% and are committed....it is still enough to make your stomach roll thinking about it because it is still something drastic to do. Three months out and I can honestly say that I feel great and I have less and less anxiety about EVERYTHING, not just about my band but also just about life, what to wear, if I'll get tired, etc. Good Luck!!

big tex 40 Posted June 4, 2013 I've never had surgery before and I'm definitely nervous too. June 10, but I'm just ready to get on with it. I figure it will be over before we know what hits us. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
