Sort of depressed/sad/scared

I'm with you Vegas and we have the same date. Tomorrow is my pre-op and I'm panicking!! My fiancé says just do whatever makes me happy but it's such a scary thing!

I think all if us had doubts at some point before surgery so I would say what you are going through is very normal. I would suggest you focus on why you made this decision in the first place. Nothing worthwhile is easy so you will have challenges. Whoever none of these challenges will be as tough as being over weight and the issues they cause. Good luck.

I've had my share of pity parties and roller coaster rides, but the results are worth the emotions I've been through this past year. I'm learning to love my band and my new life. Best wishes to you!

You wanna be ALIVE for future outings & future cruises, right?? Being able to eat the way we were able to pre-band is NOT what life is about. I think we all go through self doubt. It's normal. Good luck!!!

Hi Chas0610,

I'm new to this site and this is my first post. Your concern particularly caught my attention. You said that you are afraid that you won't be able to eat with friends like you used to or partake in the cruise line cuisine; This is why you, me and others considered the lap band. We are tired of looking and feeling this way. One other responder stated to think about what you will be able to do versus what you will be able to eat. Let food be a secondary issue instead of primary. I support you 100%. Don't back out now. Go forward and let's be sexy!!
