Hi!

My surgery is scheduled for October 19th! This is my transition date because this is the exact date two years ago that I lost my baby to stillbirth due to diabetes and every other thing that could go wrong with your weight and pregnancy. I am a nervous wreck and I start my liquid diet on Thursday. Please help I have horrible anxiety and I have trouble sleeping right now. I just want to get it over with! Any suggestions?

Hi Kristina and welcome! I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby. I can't and won't even begin to imagine how you must feel. I will tell you to hang in there. The band will help you lose weight for you to have a safe pregnancy with a happy ending.

I too am a nervous wreck about surgery. I go in Friday the 5th to be banded! It's been a 6 month wait doing all the requirements the insurance company insisted on. But it's here and I'm nervous and scared and excited and having about every other emotion out there. You just keep popping in here for support. We are here for you. As for the sleeping, well, try dreaming of nice and thin you are gonna be!
