I know how you feel Stacyrtl, I was so worried I wouldn't wake up that I made vidoetapes for everyone telling them how much I loved them! You'll do great and congratulations.

It's funny, well not really, but I have seriously thought about writing letters to all my family members and friends, just in case something is to happen. To say my good bye's and I love you's, and all that good stuff. But then agian I am affraid that I will infact discourage myself in some way, and maybe it sounds a little crazy but, I'm affraid I will some how "JINKS" myself. I'm trying to stay positive. :dance:

Hi Rachel

I can relate to anxiety. I am scheduled Feb 13th and the excitement of finally getting approval and scheduling is giving in to anxiety. I have to start a CIB liquid diet Jan 16th for 4 wks, that seems like a life time I hope I find the strength to get thou that. As for the not getting to eat it never again I am guilty of last time syndrome, eating every favorite food because it would be the last time ever. I just started realising that is not true, some day I will be able to in smaller and wiser amounts.

GOOD LUCK Terry

My fear, Feb 14th, is not waking up from the surgery and leaving the wife with three kids, without my income.

I am absolutely terrified of the surgery!

Reading all your comments have made me a little less nervous. I guess everyone goes through their own different thing. I'm glad I've found a place where I can express my thoughts with other people who understand or on the same wave length... :huggie: I'm glad i found this site!

I'm being banded on the 17th! I'm nervous, but I'm only nervous about how I'll feel after. The temporary pain, nothing more. I figure it like this. I've always wanted to be like the others, and if that means I have to deal with it, then I will. as for the food, ok at first you can't eat much, but after a while, small portions of things isn't going to kill you. You just can't overdo it. Then again, what do I know...I'm not even banded yet. This is just what i've read/heard. Be excited! not scared :huggie:

From what I've read, there are lots of emotions running through people's minds as the surgery date moves closer! I'd have to agree with everyone that being nervous is perfectly normal!

As for me, I was more excited than scared about the surgery. I was really looking forward to totally changing my life and I trusted my surgeon. I figured that the "life" I had been living wasn't so hot, so why feel bad about leaving it behind?

Since the banding, I haven't looked back! I've been sticking to my eating plan like glue and I can tell I'm still losing weight even without my first fill. I'm not starving to death and I don't miss the foods I used to eat at all because I can tell I'm getting healthier. I can wear three outfits already that didn't fit me before Christmas!

Just keep focusing on the prize and you'll be just fine!!!

My date is Monday Jan. 29th, and I started out real nervous last weekend, but now I am more nervous about missing work all of next week! I am trying to tell myself, I will feel great and be back at it by Thursday...

Mostly I am worried I will be in pain afterwards, more than being scared about the surgery itself.

Hi, my banding date is February 20th......I am really nervous too..My main fear is the fill..From what I have seen most people say it isn't painful, but needles bother me. I am nervous about the surgery too. I think I will do well w/it, but sometimes I still wonder. I am just going to try really hard and pray about it.

Hey all you guys quit being nervous and scared evrything will be just fine during and after. Yeah I can say that now. I was the same way about April 25,2006. But guess what I was scared and nervous for no reason.

It has been a very smooth and exciting ride and I am almost at goal. Seems like the time has just flown by. Just remember to follow your doctors orders and you will be on your way. Good luck to all of you.

Need to change my ticker. That should read 9 pounds from goal.
