New - surgery in 12 days

A little concerned about it -- I just don't want to fail - I have failed at many weight loss attempts and I do not want to fail at this !! Encouragement would be appreciated.:thumbs_up:

I tried every diet and exercise program out there before I decided to have lap band surgery. I failed at everyone and actually ended up gaining weight in the process. I was very afraid of failing with this also. I had a very tough time while trying to get everything set up for surgery. It actually took me about 4 months from the time I went for a consult to the time I got a surgery date. I almost gave up somewhere along the way. Luckily I have a great husband who told me to have a little patience. When I finally got that surgery date, I was sooo excited and I realized that if I hadn't given up the idea in 4 months then it was something worth doing. Family support is my biggest factor in my success. Good luck!1 I know that you can succeed!!!!

As long as you know exactly what the band's limitations are, and the part that you have to play, you'll do great!!
