Hi,

I just found out on Friday that I'm scheduled to be banded on January 28th. I am so nervous but it's really an excited nervous.

Hi,

Well, congrats on your surgery date. The excited nervous is quite the usual for most of us. It is something to look forward to, but does hold a bit of fear as well.

Try to stay focused on the big picture and what this will mean for you for the rest of your life. I had my surgery well over 5 almost 6 years ago and even though I haven't been 'perfect' I am so very glad that I did it. I have not regretted it once. Even when I went through some difficult times psychologically, I simply had the Fluid completely removed, dealt with my issues and a therapist and have since, gotten right back on the horse. I am so glad he had not run away :-]

I wish you well, this is a great place to come for advice and comfort. The folks here really do care about one another and everyone tries to help whenever they can.

Cindy
